The ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) database is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to provide extensive access to educational-related literature.

Provides comprehensive coverage of an international range of English-language periodicals, monographs and yearbooks. Indexing coverage begins June 1983; abstracts are included beginning spring 1994; full text of some journals is available beginning Jan. 1996. Indexing and abstracting coverage is identical to that of Education index and Education abstracts.

LexisNexis will be especially helpful to you if you are looking for newspaper articles. Articles listed in this database are non-scholarly but are published in leading newspapers and news agencies all over the world. You can just email the entire article to yourself.
