School of Education

Annotated bibliographies can be managed in a variety of ways. Based on a recent interaction I will share the steps outlined for an EdD student who wanted to try using RefWorks.

The Library database "Education in Video" has been updated with 96 new videos equaling 37 additional hours.

We are delighted to announce that starting in February your e-book options for education topics will be greatly expanded! We anticipate adding a large batch (1000's!) of current education e-books through a new arrangement with our eBrary vendor. You can find these new e-books in three ways.

Many of you will be familiar with searching by keyword or browsing by subjects linked to each book's short descriptive record in our old-style  catalog.

As many of you are aware, the ERIC.ed.gov website sponsored by the US Department of Education has suspended access to many of its user-contributed, full-text documents - those with accession numbers starting with the letters "ED." This was done to isolate and begin removing sensitive personal information found in some portion of the older documents that had previously been available on microfiche.

The question of how to best access the Chronicle of Higher Education frequently gets asked on our Library Help instant message question service, or to me directly.  Several options exist with varying degrees of ease and number of steps. I offer you the most common options so you can choose based on your situation and preferences.

Book catalog:
First tab on our frontpage interface. Search using keyword1 AND keyword2.  Observe that the majority of books retrieved are ELECTRONIC format. Some can be downloaded (from vendors eBrary & IGI) but most require you to have an active browser connection to read.

Congratulations!
