New Resource - Education on Video
Designed specifically for training and developing teachers. Videos include teaching demonstrations, lectures, documentaries, and primary-source footage of students and teachers in actual classrooms.
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 (ProQuest 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.
NOTE: Click on Find in a Library to reach the Get it @ VCU button. - 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.
