Check out our new video tutorial on how to find ethnographies and educational case studies using Education Research Complete!

EbscoHost’s Education Research Complete offers the world’s largest and most complete collection of full text education journals. It is a bibliographic and full text database covering scholarly research and information relating to education. Topics covered include all levels of education from early childhood to higher education, all educational specialties, such as multilingual education, health education, as well as areas of curriculum instruction and administration, policy, funding, and related social issues. The database provides indexing and abstracts for more than 1,870 journals, and full text for more than 1,060 journals.

To help students use library research tools the Library offers some online tutorials. But because all the databases and even our own library website constantly change, keeping the tutorials current is a challenge. Instead of giving up completely, I’ve started doing the “home movie” version of the research tutorial.

These tutorials feature an unscripted monologue with a grainy webcam “talking head” (mine) that guides users through screen sequences of all my favorite library research tools. These sessions are created using the archive feature of the online-meeting platform that Drexel now has called Adobe Connect. It lets me record audio, video, slides and chat and share it all at one web link without getting into video editing – very easy.
