Searching Databases
ERIC  is a Department of Education database that began in 1966. The EBSCO version  has more  full-text than CSA, but it's peer-review limit for older articles is incomplete (it misses some peer reviewed journals). The Article Linker button provides access to full-text journals that are not in EBSCO. You cannot limit to empirical studies, literature reviews, or professional level materials.  You can limit to journal articles,  research reports, and legal materials under Publication.
