Education: a SAGE full-text collection (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts). 1982 to date.

Includes the full text of 19 journals published by SAGE and participating societies. Every bibliographic record in the collection links to the appropriate full-text in PDF format.

ERIC (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts). 1967 to date.

Probably the foremost index in education, consisting of CIJE (citations and summaries of journal articles) and RIE (citations and summaries for the ERIC document collection).

PsycINFO (Ebsco). 1887 to date.

PsycINFO covers, in addition, dissertations, books, and foreign-language journals. However, it does not provide full text article; instead use SFX (see below) to access the electronic version of articles.

Wilson OmniFile Full-Text. 1994 to date. WilsonWeb

This multidisciplinary database delivers full-text articles published by the H. W. Wilson Company. Since a good many of the most popular education journals are indexed in one or more of these indexes, WilsonOmniFile is a good source for educational subjects.
