ERIC
The most widely used education database, ERIC (U.S. Department of Educational Resource Information Center) contains indexing and abstracts from thousands of research and technical reports in the Resources In Education Index (ED numbers) and from more than 750 education and education-related journals in the Current Index to Journals in Education (EJ numbers).

Advantages: this database indexes most of the core education journals and many of them are full text.

Provides abstracts for almost 8,000 scholarly and popular journals covering topics across the disciplines including education, sociology and psychology. Aside from Education Full Text, Academic Search Premier may have a little better coverage of full text education, child development, and psychology materials than Academic OneFile (InfoTrac) or ProQuest Research Library .
-- Considerable full-text dating back to 1990 with some as far back as 1975.
--Multiple EBSCO databases can be searched at the same time. For example Academic Search Premier, ERIC, and Business Source Premier would be a good combination of databases to check for articles on organizational management or institutional finances.Business Source Premier (EBSCO)
