Education-specific Resources
Education Resource Complete
This database of education journals includes full text of over a thousand journals and some books. Some journals are indexed but not included full text: click on the "Search for Article" button to look for the full text elsewhere. Use "Subject Terms" to narrow your search.
ERIC
This database allows you to search for both journal articles and "ERIC documents"-- non-journal articles and papers submitted to the ERIC database. Many ERIC documents are full text inside the database, but for journal articles, click on the "Search for Article" button to look for the full text elsewhere. Use the Advanced Search to limit to particular grade levels, audiences or types of article.

Social Studies-specific Resources
Academic Search Premiere
This general-purpose database of journal articles-- many of them full text-- is a great place to start your research in any Social Studies Topic. You can limit to Scholarly journals, or specify magazine and newspaper articles if looking for resources for your students. If the full text isn't available in the database, click on the "Search for Article" button to look for the full text elsewhere.
Proquest Research Library
This is another general purpose database. It covers many of the same journals and magazines, but with a different spin-- and includes many that aren't in Academic Search. Here, too, you can limit to Scholarly journals. If the full text isn't available in the database, click on the "Search for Article" button to look for the full text elsewhere.
Historical Abstracts and America, History and Life
If you need history articles, these databases will help you find them. Some articles are linked to their full text, but if not, click on the "Search for Article" button to look for the full text elsewhere. Don't forget to use Interlibrary Loan!
