Databases
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 Library 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 Library 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.
PsycINFO via CSA (Allows you to search ERIC and PsychInfo simultaneously.)
