Text Box: Sources are discipline-indexed, making it easy to focus a search by disciplinary methodology, but no recent articles are available.  Excellent for archival sources (e.g., C19 and 20). Text Box: Broad coverage but sources are topic-indexed rather than discipline-indexed, making it far more difficult to focus a search by the kind of methods you want to use. Text Box: American and British journals covering literature in English.  (Note: no non-English literature is covered by LION, e.g., French, Italian, German, etc.) Text Box: MLA Bibliography (English and other languages' literatures), Ebsco's is strong in Education, Medicine (MEDLINE), Psychology (PsychInfo),  Business, and Communications.
