JSTOR
JSTOR is an online archive of scholarly materials and it searches articles through the full text, unlike many other databases. However JSTOR includes fewer journals on any specific subject than the subject databases does, and is lacking the most recent 5 years of articles.

ARTbibliographies Modern (ProQuest)
Excellent database for finding articles on contemporary art and photography. Has thorough coverage of contemporary art magazines that you won't find elsewhere such as Flash Art, C Magazine, etc.
International Bibliography of Art (IBA) (ProQuest)
Began indexing in 2007 after the cessation of Bibliography of the History of Art, and has the same editorial policies.
DAAI: Design and Applied Arts Index (ProQuest)
Articles on the applied arts and design.
