New databases: Child & Adolescent Studies Source, Urban Studies Source

Posted on November 10th, 2026

EIU students, faculty, and staff have access to two new full-text databases on the EBSCOhost platform, thanks to Booth Library’s membership in the CARLI consortium.

Child & Adolescent Studies Source contains articles and abstracts on how children and teens grow, develop and thrive. Choose this database if you’re doing research on cognitive, social, emotional or mental health issues for this age group, including the factors that shape development from early childhood through adolescence.

Urban Studies Source offers global perspectives on city planning and urban issues through scholarly literature from more than 16 countries.

Both databases are upgrades from the abstract-only versions previously offered at Booth. Together, they provide access to nearly 200 full-text journals not previously available.

Please contact your subject librarian with any questions.
