There are so many databases out there that it can be difficult to find what the user is looking for. Here are some great databases to try out.
Google: Make sure the source is reliable by fact checking with other sources. Also look for .org or .gov websites.
EBSCOHost: This is a great way to utilize UAlbany's resources. UAlbany pays for many articles, case studies, and exclusive websites so this is a great tool to use to find them. I often used ERIC or the Education Resources Information Center to find some of these sources since they specialize in education case studies. However there are many sub genres in EBSCOHost so don't be afraid to explore more of them.
Google Scholar: This database has many peer reviewed articles and other resources that have been reviewed several times. This is a great site to use if you do not have access to EBCSOHost.
