Social Work: General databases
General databases will suggest academic papers and research from across a range of subject areas, but most offer good coverage of education and social science.
Usually you can conduct either a basic or advanced search - an advanced search enables you to combine key words more effectively and to search within specific fields, such as author or title.
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.
