Education research is usually disseminated through journal articles, especially
for current studies and findings in educational & developmental psychology.
Start with either or both of the following databases:
When you search ERIC, you may find citations for ERIC documents. ERIC Documents include
a wide variety of resources such as teaching guides, conference papers, research reports, bibliographies,
opinion papers, instructional materials, and test and evaluation instruments. More than 107,000 full-text
non-journal documents (issued 1993-2006), previously available through fee-based services only, are now
available for free.
Other databases to consider:
Books provide valuable information about the history and philosophy of education,
including policy and reform, offer assessment tools, unit plans, and detailed methods of instruction.
Children's literature and picture books are the cornerstone for promoting literacy in the classroom.
Remember to look at publication dates of books and note that journal articles may furnish more recent
research and findings.
To locate books owned by Niagara University Library, use the
Library Catalog. Search for books owned by other libraries using
WorldCat, a catalog that contains references to more than 57 million items owned by 9,000 libraries
