This pathfinder includes information about electronic resources
on education in Bermuda. In addition to online material, a trip
to your local library may reveal more material on this subject.
The Library of Congress online
catalog (http://catalog.loc.gov/) has a large number of
books on the Bermuda.
Extensive lists of colleges and universities are available through
such portals such as BRAINTRACK which links to Latin American
universities (http://www.braintrack.com/linknav.htm?pprevid=13&level=2);
and General Education Online (http://www.findaschool.org/)
[Note the Argentine link below]. The University of Oulu, in Finland,
provides an listing of the "Best Indices of Colleges and
Universities World-wide" (http://www.oulu.fi/other/universities.html).
While focusing on the United States, The National
Library of Education is the federal government's main resource
center for education information. However, although the library
site has not been updated for some time one should note that
at that site, the ERIC database provides a wide range of documents
and articles for the international audience. The database contains
more than one million abstracts of education-related documents
and journal articles. One may access the ERIC database on the
Internet (See http://www.eric.ed.gov/) or through commercial
vendors and public networks. The ERIC abstracts are avalable
in print publications
such as Resources in Education and Current
Index to Journals in Education.
For Latin America and the Caribbean, additional academic sources
may also be found in the Handbook
of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced
by over 160 contributing editors under the auspices of the Hispanic
Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal
articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic
American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).
Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries
in book form.
One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of
subjects relating to Higher Education is the University of Texas'
LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/highered/);
for Distance education (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/distance/);
and for primary and secondary education (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/k-12).
