Key Resources for Education and Social Work

Use this guide to discover useful resources for conducting research in your subject area.  

The University of Sussex's Library Search is a good starting point, as it spans all subjects and searches the university's collections and subscriptions. However, to be more comprehensive in your research, you’ll need to use other resources, databases and collections. 

The best place to search will depend on what types of sources you’re looking for, your research topic, and where you are in your research process.

The resources listed on this guide are useful for Education, Social Work and Childhood & Youth Studies. This page lists some of the most used research databases in these fields.

The other pages of this guide list even more resources which are useful for research in these subjects, including databases for finding grey literature and more specialist research tools.
