Social Science Citation Index
This evening I researched the Social Science Citation Index under the Education Tab. This site offers a really great search. There are many limiters you can add and there are search bars right on the home page to add or exclude certian words from search results. It also has a year and database limiter. After you actually do a search you can go to the left hand side bar and refine your search even more by selecting areas of study, document types, languages, and even institutions. You can order your search results by relevance, entry date, and author. The database has a citation option as well as an export to endnote or refman. you can also mark each result if it something you are interested in or may want to come back to later. It seems to be a pretty helpful and straight forward site if you are looking for things that fall under the social science catagory. It seems to be like many other databases though. I didn't really see anything that made it stand out to me or make me say "oooooo how neat!" good database still.
