The Education Resources
Information Center (ERIC), sponsored by the Institute of Education
Sciences (IES)
of the U.S. Department of Education, produces the world’s
premier database of journal and non-journal education literature.
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 search the ERIC
database (http://www.eric.ed.gov/ ) on the
Internet 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, including Brazil, 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.
