Searching for Journal Articles
July 4, 2008
The Professional Library provides 2 professional education databases for TDSB teachers and administrators: Proquest and Ebsco. These are absolutely fabulous for any teacher taking AQ courses.
These databases index and make available in full text format gazillions of journal articles pertaining to education and teaching. If you need articles on reading, ADHD, ESL (and lots more); if you want articles by Michael Fullan (anyone), if you want to see the latest issues from specific journals; you can search for all of them in these databases. Once you have found what you want, you can choose to read the articles online, you can print them, or you can email them (great for group or committee work).
To use them, you must first of all be a TDSB teacher. Second, you need to get to the Library TEL conference or TDSBweb page. On TEL, the path is: TDSB Conferences ->Resource Centre.TEL -> Prof.Library.TEL. To find us on TDSB go to the TDSB Internet page and select About Us menu ->Staff Login ->TDSBweb -> Services drop down menu-> Professional Library. In TEL and TDSBweb, look for the page that says something like “Search for Articles”.
As ever, call us if you get stuck.
