===============================
Sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) is an authoritative database of indexed and full text education literature and resources. Content types include journal articles, books, conference papers, curriculum guides, dissertations, policy papers, and reports.
Includes ability to limit search results by education level (such as early childhood education or a particular grade) and target audience (such as counselors, parents, or teachers)
Education Librarian's Tip:
ERIC is available on both the Proquest and EBSCO platforms. But the user interface is best on the public website http://eric.ed.gov where the thesaurus features can be used to best effect. To get full text of citations found on the public site, just copy the title of the article over to the DragonSearch search box on the front page of the Drexel Libraries website.
Education Librarian's Tip
Full-text PDF's of dissertations and theses from the USA and Canada! Use the Advanced Search option whenever you want to search dissertations from a particular institution, such as Drexel.
