ERIC (Education Resource Information Center): This is the largest on-line database for education-related articles. The majority of the articles can be accessed as full text. Those articles which only provide an abstract do give directions for accessing the full text. This is an open access database.

Databases include ProQuest, e-Library, Bowker's Books in Print, RCL Web, and Ebsco Host. This is a member database. As a patron of the Grafton Library, you have been granted membership.
