Which ones do I use?

Scroll down for descriptions and help files.

BOOKS: Refer to the Books section of this site <click here>.

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.
