Use the catalog to find books we have in the Kresge Library. Also use the catalog to see if we have access to a particular journal title on-line or in print.
Many of the ERIC documents (identified by ED numbers) from 1992 on are available by a full text link
; others are commercial published books or reports and need to be searched in the Online Catalog. Most ERIC documents 1966-2002 are available in microfiche.
Journal articles (identified by EJ numbers) sometimes indicate full text available directly indicated by the
link. For others use the
service to see if we have an e-journal copy of the article; use the Online Catalog link from the Get-It window if there is no e-journal found, because the library's print collection can be found thus. For articles not found electronically or in print, use the
service to order from another library.
