Note: While Subject Headings normally provide a "controlled" search vocabulary, in the field of Education they can seem out-of-control. Below I have extracted those that seem most relevant to public policy debate and recent research projects by IC students.

Note: Subject Headings beginning with the words "Education," "Educational," "School," "Teachers," and "Teaching" potentially cover all levels of education: preschool, elementary, secondary, and higher. There is no effective way to winnow out only the materials on secondary education, since many of the books treat both primary and secondary schools. And much of our best information on secondary school practices will be found here. You must simply skim titles and consult the books themselves.
Also note: I have often included the same Subject Heading with and without the subheading "United states." Be aware that even without the subheading "United States" the focus will probably be on American schools.
For the sake of your sanity try not to note: There is a Subject Heading "Education--Aims and objectives--United States" and a Subject Heading "Education--United States--Aims and Objectives." For convenience I have interfiled these distinctions-without-much-difference.

Note: There is a good deal of overlap among the Subject Headings "Adolescence," "Teenagers," "Youth," and "Young Adults." Adolescence has traditionally been considered to begin at puberty, but when it ends varies historically and by culture. The Library of Congress defines "Youth" as 13-25 and "Young Adults" as 18-25.

WorldCat via FirstSearch is a "union catalog" that allows you to search the holdings of over 10,000 libraries from accross the country and around the world. Check WorldCat to discover what the entire universe of possible resources looks like for your topic.
User Advisory:
User Advisory:
- Because this is such an enormous database you need to choose a "Limit Type to" before you begin. Most commonly you will be looking for "Books," "Visual Materials" (for example DVDs), or "Sound Recordings."
- I recommend you avoid the "Author phrase," "Title phrase," and "Subject phrase" search fields and use "Author," "Title," or "Subject" instead. The "phrase" searches must be exact and are unforgiving.
- If your topic is time-sensitive, try focusing on a recent time span under Year.
- When you find an item you want you can request an interlibrary loan by opening the WorldCat record and clicking on "ILL (order via interlibrary loan)," which you'll find toward the top of the record under "External Resources." This will connect you to Ithaca College Library interlibrary loan, where you log in using your usual Netpass name and password. Logging in opens a form where all the identifying data will have automatically been transferred from the WorldCat record. All you have to do is click "Submit."
