Welcome!
Welcome to the Education Research Guide, where you'll find a variety of library resources to support your research in Education.
James Branch Cabell Library
THE Education Databases
ERIC and Education Research Complete are THE places to start your research.
- ERIC - Education Resources Information CenterCitations and abstracts from the world's largest education database, 1966-present. More than 1.2 million records. Produced by the Department of Education. VCU Libraries provides three versions: one from the Department of Education; and two from vendors (CSA and FirstSearch). While the content is essentially the same, the interfaces are different. Since the version from the Department of Education will be available to you after you leave VCU, that is the version used in library instruction.
- Education Research CompleteComprehensive full-text database of core education journals. Most have complete run indexing, i.e., from v1 n1, with extensive full-text coverage for many. A necessary complement to ERIC, especially for newer articles.
