Begin with the Education Research Guide. This guide has information on finding articles, books, requesting materials, citing your sources, and more.
Click on the yellow tab Education Database Best Bets and you'll see a list of the best article databases for Education, such as Education Source, Professional Development Collection, etc. Click on Education Source.
Break your research topic down into keywords and search, limiting to Full-Text and Scholarly/Peer-reviewed. This will ensure you only get results that are from academic journals and have a link to the complete article.
If you don't find enough articles, you can add additional databases to your search. At the top of the database page, click on the words "Choose Databases". This will bring up a window with a list of many other databases you can search at the same time as Education Source. Check the boxes for Academic Search Premier, ERIC, OmniFile and Professional Development Collection, then click "OK" and re-run your search.
