Here are links and brief descriptions of the Library databases that can be used to find articles about education and about libraries.

ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center
Indexes both journal articles (EJ) and ERIC documents (ED) related to education.
"Documents" include books, research reports, dissertations, conference proceedings and other non-journal sources of information.
ERIC indexes more than 850 education journals with most available in full-text online.
ERIC is available in two interfaces, EbscoHost or ProQuest. (Same content, different search features.) This links to EbscoHost.
Proquest Education Journals
Indexes over 800 education related periodical titles.
Full text access is available for 650 titles.
Google Scholar (not a Library database but...)
Access Google Scholar from the Library's webpage so it will link you to full-text articles that are available from the Cheng Library.
Look for the link, Full-Text @ Cheng Library.
Many other full text resources (books, ERIC documents, etc.) are accessible through Google Scholar.
