Education Source This link opens in a new window
Great full text content but a lackluster search interface makes this more easily accessed from the main DragonSearch "Articles & More" search box on the front page of the Drexel Libraries website.
Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) via ProQuest This link opens in a new window
Education Research and Information Clearinghouse - from the US Dept of Education with scholarly content linking to full text in our other databases as well as full-text of self-published reports.
Includes ability to limit search results by education level (such as early childhood education or a particular grade) and target audience (such as counselors, parents, or teachers)

Education Librarian's Tip:
ABI/Inform is strong on both the trade and scholarly management literature, as well as business news in general.
ERIC is available on both the Proquest and EBSCO platforms. But the user interface is best on the public website http://eric.ed.gov where the thesaurus features can be used to best effect. To get full text of citations found on the public site, just copy the title of the article over to the DragonSearch search box on the front page of the Drexel Libraries website.
