New Trial on Education Databases

Greetings, the Library has arranged another 4 week trial on two sets of Education resources. We would like faculty input on these products to determine if they would be of interest and use to you.

ASCD eBook Collection:

ASCD, an international nonprofit organization representing thousands of professional educators from around the world, has long been known for its superior products and services. These essential professional development titles cover a wide range of issues in education, from teaching methodology and practices to leadership and community initiatives. Now Gale and ASCD have selected 56 best-selling and new titles available to form an eBook special collection through Gale Virtual Reference Library.

Educator's Reference Complete:

The ERC provides full-text results for nearly half of the journal titles found in ERIC. This database covers multiple levels of education from preschool to college, and every educational specialty -- such as technology, bilingual education, health education, and testing. Educator's Reference Complete also focuses on issues in administration, funding and policy.
