HOW YOU CAN FIND IT

You can use any combination of terms in your database search. For example, if you are interested in evaluation of community cultural development you (a) type in CCD (yes, we used an acronnym) as a keyword; then (b) type in evaluation as a keyword in the second search box. To get references specifically about evaluation of community cultural development as opposed to general evaluation references, connnect the two search terms with 'and' rather than 'or.' If you are interested in drawing on traditions of informal education for environmental education you should (a) type in 'informal education' and then (b) environment.

Note that if you are searching for references using two or more words you should put quotation marks around them. For example, if you are searching for references about popular education, type in: "popular education". If you do not include the quotation marks then the search will generate all references about education and references with the word popular.
