ERIC
(Access through Cambridge Scientific Abstracts) Includes
Resources in Education (microfiche documents) and Current Index
to Journals in Education (CIJE). One advantage to searching
ERIC through the CSA interface is that it connects to MSUM's holdings and it
also has a searchable ERIC Thesaurus. This interface also connects you to the
"National Criminal Justice," "Sociological Abstracts," and "Social Services
Abstracts" databases when you choose to search additional databases within
CSA. Also note the ERIC Search Wizard which can navigate the ERIC
thesaurus on-line to identify the controlled vocabulary for searching the
ERIC database. As you navigate the thesaurus, you will encounter, for most
terms, a definition along with identified related terms, broader terms, and
narrower terms at:
