This guide contains links to Buley library and other resources that can be used to research on education related topics. Access to many of the online databases from off campus requires a library pin number.
Catalog is a primary tool for a library user to find what items are available in a library's collection and where they are located. The Buley library catalog can be found at the library home page (http://library.southernct.edu)
Dictionaries, Encyclopedias and Other Selected Resources
Dictionaries are monographs that define individual words of a language so as to set forth their orthography, pronunciation, signification, and use, their synonyms, deviation, and history among other facts. Dictionaries can be general or subject specific.
e.g. Oxford English Dictionary
Encyclopedias are works that contain information on all branches of knowledge or treat comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge, usually in articles arranged alphabetically by subject.
e.g.: Britanica Online
Both types of reference materials provide
ideas for developing a search term list and strategy.
Indexes
Indexes, such as periodical indexes, allow you to search for articles or subject
specific materials published in a periodical, journal title, or other bibliographic
resources. An index allows you to search for a specific article, book
chapter, etc. within a periodical, journal title, or other resource.
Online Databases (indexes online): These are the databases Buley subscribes to and are accessible through the library homepage.)
