Indexes the education literature, covering thousands of journal articles, conferences, meetings, government documents, theses, dissertations, reports, audiovisual media, bibliographies, directories, books and monographs. Many of the non-journal documents (accession numbers beginning with ED) are available full-text. You can also filter the results by age group, which you cannot do with the other databases.

**To find empirical articles, select 143 (Reports - Research) under the Document Types filter.

Indexes 18,000+ journals in all subjects, with heavy emphasis in the sciences. For each record, you can view what the authors cited, who has since cited the article, and look for related articles based on common citations. You can also limit to or exclude review articles. There's no full text in Web of Science, but you can use the full text links in the records, which in most cases will take you right to the article.

Like Google, but focused on the scholarly literature. Under Settings, go to Library Links to activate Get It at UC.
** Using Google Scholar Advanced Search (1-min video)
**Pros: Full-text article searching can retrieve articles that may not come up in the other databases, so good for interdisciplinary topics. Also indexes faster than the other databases, so you may get very recent articles. Can also view citing articles and related articles, set up search alerts, etc.
**Cons: Full-text article searching that brings up thousands of articles, with very limited tools to refine search results. Through the Advanced Search, you can exclude words, do some boolean "OR" searching, and limit results to articles where search terms are found in the article titles only.

Indexes articles, books, chapters, thesis, and web pages dealing with psychology. You can also limit search results to empirical studies
