Resource of the Week

The Ed/ITLib Digital Library for Education and Information Technology

The Ed/ITLib Digital Library for Education and Information Technology is a valuable online resource of peer-reviewed and published international journal articles and proceedings papers on the latest research, developments, and applications related to all aspects of Educational Technology and E-Learning. This database is sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education.

Within the database are user-created collections of papers, generally grouped together by a theme or topic called binders. You can create your own binder, or browse through binders created by other Digital Library users.

Search tips:

  • Phrase Searching: Search for phrases by enclosing search terms in quotation marks. Words enclosed in double quotes ("like this") will appear together in all results exactly as you have entered them. For example “distance learning” will retrieve all articles where the word distance appears immediately before the word learning.

  • Case sensitive searching: This can be useful for searching acronyms and names. A search for Bell will not find bell. A search for USE will not find use.

  • Wildcards: The * symbol can be used at the end of any word stem to represent any ending. For example teach* will retrieve teacher, teaching and teach. The ? can be used within a word to represent a character. For example vir??al will retrieve words beginning with vir and ending with al with any two characters between.
