These can be accessed off campus by students, faculty, and
staff of SCC with a valid ID number. Search the databases
for articles from magazines, journals, and/or newspapers.

obtained through interlibrary loan. You may limit your search to
either documents or journals on the search menu.

Websites
Websites that can help get you started researching education
topics are provided below.

- From the U.S. Department of Education, this is a great
gateway site for teachers. It has research publications, lesson
ideas, assessment information, NCLB requirements, and much more.
There are also links to subject area web resources such as art,
math, science, etc.
- The Educator's Reference
Desk
- Trying to save the information from the old AskERIC site,
the Educator's Reference Desk has 2,000+ lesson plans, 3,000+
links to online education information, and 200+ question archive
responses from AskERIC, the Gateway to Educational Materials,
and the Virtual Reference Desk.

sites categorized by subject, grade level, and format (tools,

sites. Sites are hand-picked and are, in our opinion, among
the most useful for classroom or instructional use."
