Education: Subject databases
The following databases will enable you to discover academic papers and research within the field of education. Often by searching within a subject-specific database your results will be more focused and relevant.
Usually you can conduct either a basic or advance search - an advanced search enables you to combine key words more effectively and to search within specific fields, such as author.
Sometimes you may find a journal article which is not available to BCU online, but you can always consider requesting it through an Inter-Library Loan request.
