New Database: Education Collection (ASCD)

Access has been provided to the Education Collection (ASCD) on the A-Z list of databases and the Education Resource page. The Education Collection is a group of 56 Gale Virtual Reference Library titles that are from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). I created a sub collection for these titles so they can be searched together and easily promoted. They are also available in the Gale Virtual Reference Library.

Electronic titles in the Education Collection span a wide range of popular titles and new favorites that address the ongoing professional development needs of today's educators. A complete title list is available. MARC records are also available for these titles.
