ARTICLES:
Your first choices should be the following databases: ERIC,
Professional Collection, Professional
Development Collection,
and ProQuest
Education Journals.
For research
on vocational issues, try Vocational and Career Collection.
Additionally, the SIRS Discoverer
database, within each of its subject areas, has organized vocational
information, e.g., "Careers in the Arts."
The target
audience of the information within the other databases listed
in this section is grade school students, not college
students. The primary use of these databases by university
students (current and/or future teachers) is to see examples of
the information services available to their students.
