Books
The library has a number of books located in the reference section that will give you a great jump start to this project. Some of those titles are listed below. Note some titles are available online in addition to being available in the reference collection.

Early Childhood Education: An International Encyclopedia Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education Encyclopedia of Special Education Psychology of Classroom Learning

Additional titles may be found by searching the library's online catalog or by contacting a reference librarian. Perform a keyword search when searching the catalog. This search will look for your search terms in all fields of the record including the table of contents information if available. Keep in mind when you are searching the online catalog you should keep your search terms broad. You will see that some titles do not have much information in the record to describe the title.

Journal Articles
The periodical research database used by those in education is ERIC. This database has a number of research articles available online and will link out to other resources if the article is available. When searching in a periodical database it is okay to start your search broad, but you should add addition search terms and/or limiters to get an appropriate result list. Too many results can be overwhelming. This database is available for use on or off campus. Contact the reference desk if you are having trouble accessing or searching this database. Other databases you may want to explore include the following.
