The British Education Index office is a self-financing unit within
the Library of the University of Leeds. The office is responsible
for the production and maintenance of a range of information services
supporting educational research, policy and practice. The main source
of financial support for the office comes from subscription and royalty
revenue from the British Education Index (BEI) itself.
Among online information services provided by the BEI office are:
the British Education
Internet Resource Catalogue, a freely accessible database of information
about professionally evaluated and described internet sites;
the Education Conference Listings service, a freely accessible
calendar for, primarily UK, education and training related conferences
as notified by their organisers, and giving information about conference
locations, content and subject details;
the
Education Conference Programmes service, freely searchable programmes
and event archives for the educational research related conferences
of organisations which sponsor the service on behalf of their delegates
and organisation members;
Education-line,
a freely accessible database of the full text of conference papers,
working papers and electronic literature which supports educational
research, policy and practice.
British Education Index, a subscription based information service
providing a subject index to 320 education periodicals published in
the UK, together with coverage of some report and conference literature. |
