Academic Search Premier
General database covers all areas of study. Good place to start for interdisciplinary topics or when you don't know which area of study your topic fits into. "Where do I start?" Here.
Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest)
Indexes over 2.4 million PhD dissertations and some master's degree theses completed. We have access to the full-text of those completed after 1995. You may purchase thousands of others.
Web of Science
Covers all areas of study, though covers sciences and social sciences much better than the humanities. Excellent for citation searching (looking for articles that cite an article that you already know about, or finding sources that cite a particular author's works). Also assesses the impact of specific journals.
JSTOR
Archived, online backfiles of the most important and respected journals in the social sciences. It is sometimes best to search in other databases and to come here to find articles you already know about.
