A great way to look for this topic is to look in both Education and Psychology databases. One easy way to do this is to use a feature in our online library called EBSCO QuickSearch.
- Start on the main library page here.
- On the right side of the page, you'll see a dark blue box labeled Popular Databases. Click on the Popular Databases text to view or most used databases.
- In the list that comes up select the link to EBSCO QuickSearch.
- Once on the EBSCO QuickSearch page, you will see three search bars in the top left. Above the first one, there is a blue link that says Choose Databases. Click on this and box will appear on your screen with a list of databases that you can search from. Make sure that only these three databases are checked-- Academic Search Ultimate, Education Source Ultimate, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection. Then click on the yellow Ok button at the bottom.
- Now, type in Erik Erikson in the first search bar, development in the second, and education OR teaching in the third. Then click on the green search button. You may want to experiment with these search terms by trying different variations.
- Once you are on the search results page, look at the left side of the page for the Refine Results section. Scroll down to Limit To and select the Peer Reviewed option to limit your results to just scholarly peer-reviewed articles. You can also further limit your results by publication date by going to the Publication Date slider found in the same section.
