What is in your research toolkit?
The University Library subscribes to hundreds of research databases. As a UIUC student, you have access to all of them - anywhere, anytime. Since you are potentially looking at multiple time periods and education practices in other countries, the following databases should be in your research toolkit. Some of these databases may be searched at the same time.
Alternate version: ERIC - EBSCO in the classic EBSCO user interface (best for exporting more than 50 results or combining saved searches). ERIC is a Web-based digital library of free education-related sources of interest to educators, researchers, and the general public, and consists primarily of electronic bibliographic records describing journal and non-journal literature. The collection is to be expanded to include full-texts of articles and other electronic resources such as audio and video materials.
