The ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) database is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to provide extensive access to educational-related literature. The ERIC database corresponds to two printed journals: Resources in Education (RIE) and Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE). Both journals provide access to some 14,000 documents and over 20,000 journal articles per year.
Contains citations and summaries of journal articles, book chapters, books, and technical reports in the field of psychology and psychological aspects of related disciplines including medicine, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, education, pharmacology, physiology, linguistics, anthropology, business, and law.
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites.
LearnTechLib, formerly EdITLib Digital Library, is your source for peer-reviewed and published articles and papers on the latest research, developments, and applications related to all aspects of Educational Technology and E-Learning.
PQDT offers access to 3 million citations to dissertations and theses from around the world from 1861 to the present day together with over a million full text dissertations that are available for download in PDF format. The database offers full text for most of the dissertations added since 1997 and strong retrospective full text coverage for older graduate works. Over 80,000 new dissertations and theses are added to the database each year.
NOTE: These are NOT all the databases that relate to Educational topics. Consult a librarian if you aren't finding what you need.

Critical approaches to qualitative research have made a significant impact on research practice over the past decade. Contemporary, original articles place this trend in its historical context, and describes the current landscape of critical work. The book-includes contributions from leading qualitative researchers.
This is a book about research design for projects that collect both qualitative and quantitative data, so that their combined strengths will accomplish more than would have been possible with any one method. The approach presented here is broadly interdisciplinary and emphasizes practical research designs.
This volume uses a conversational writing style that draws readers into the excitement of the research process. Lichtman covers the full range of qualitative methodologies and viewpoints about the field, including coverage of social media as a tool to facilitate research or as a venue for study. After presenting theoretical concepts and a historical overview, Lichtman guides readers, step by step, through the research process.
This handbook provides a state-of-the art overview of the whole field of QDA; from general analytic strategies used in qualitative research, to approaches specific to particular types of qualitative data, including talk, text, sounds, images and virtual data. The handbook includes chapters on traditional analytic strategies such as grounded theory, content analysis, hermeneutics, phenomenology and narrative analysis, as well as coverage of newer trends like mixed methods, reanalysis and meta-analysis. Practical aspects such as sampling, transcription, working collaboratively, writing and implementation are given close attention.
This volume shows how the research process in its entirety can be supported by technology tools in ways that can save time and add robustness and depth to qualitative work.
This textbook provides a hands-on introduction to the qualitative method and its theoretical underpinnings. It offers step-by-step instructions for implementing the three principal types of qualitative content analysis: thematic, evaluative, and type-building analysis. This book shows in detail how to use software, from transcribing the verbal data to presenting and visualizing the results.
