Today, electronic or online indexes provide access to a large portion of education journal literature. ERIC provides access to journal articles from over 750 journals in the field of education. Indexes journal articles, books, doctoral dissertations and various non-printed media in all areas of gifted education, special education and related services. A more generalized academic index of close to 3,000 journals, many of which deal with educational issues.
Cars offers mediated searching of hundreds of databases.
Two important features of CARS searching for the education researcher are its access to dissertations and citation searching. Contact the Education Librarian for CARS searching. The purpose of this index is to provide access to state and local periodical literature not indexed in the major education indexes.
