Education : St Lucia

This pathfinder includes information about electronic resources on education in St. Lucia. For additional information about St. Lucia at the Library of Congress, consult its online catalog (http://catalog.loc.gov). In addition to Lambros Comitas' work [The Complete Caribbeana, 1900-1975: A Bibliographic Guide to the Scholarly Literature. (Millwood, NY: KTO Press, Research Institute for the Study of Man) 4 vols, 2193 pages, 1977.], the most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning St. Lucia is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 140 contributing editors under the editorship 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 St. Lucia is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/stlucia/). While focusing on the United States, The National Library of Education is the federal government's main resource center for education information. However, 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 AskERIC) or through commercial vendors and public networks. The ERIC abstracts are available in print publications such as Resources in Education and Current Index to Journals in Education.
