EBSCO Publishing Introduces Education Source
EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) released a new resource dedicated to the study of education. Education Source is a bibliographic and full-text database developed from a merger of high-quality databases from EBSCO Publishing and H.W. Wilson, and includes many unique sources that were never previously available.Designed to meet the needs of education students, professionals, and policymakers, Education Source claims to be the largest and most complete collection of full-text journals in education research. The extensive collection includes full text for more than 1,700 journals, 550 books and monographs, education-related conference papers, citations for more than 4 million articles including book reviews and more than 100,000 controlled and cross-referenced names of educational tests. Coverage in Education Source spans all levels of education from early childhood to higher education and includes educational specialties such as multilingual education, health education, and testing. Subject matter includes Adult Education, Continuing Education, Distance Learning, Government Funding, Multicultural/Ethic Education, Social Issues, Student Counseling, Vocational Education, as well as many others. EBSCO and H.W. Wilson merged in 2011 in what was viewed by the companies as an ideal match. The acquisition led directly to heightening the value and quality of EBSCO and Wilson resources as well as the creation of a line of source products, including Education Source. EBSCO plans to release additional source products focusing on specific subject matter over the next few months. Source: EBSCO Publishing
