ERIC

ERIC, (Education Resources Information Center),
is a premier database of journal and non-journal education literature, with
more than 1.1 million citations since 1966. Sponsored by the Institute of
Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Dept. of Education.
ERIC covers two types of literature:
Journals [over 1000 scholarly, professional
and practitioner journals]

as conference papers, standards reports, etc. Not peer-reviewed].
The recommended ERIC search interface for PSU users is Cambridge Scientific

What Works Clearinghouse
Created in 2002, the goal of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is to identify
findings of scientific evidence. The WWC collects, screens, and identifies
studies of the effectiveness of educational interventions (programs, products,
practices, and policies); reviews studies that have the strongest design;
and reports on the strengths and weaknesses of those studies against the WWC
Evidence Standards. Study
reports [ratings of individual studies and designs for reliability];
intervention reports [findings that meet WWC Evidence Standards for a
particular intervention]; topic
reports [description of topic and each intervention that the WWC reviewed]
