Edutopia offers a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and students in the field of education. It is an online database that provides access to over 100 databases, some of which offer full-text sources. Notably, it includes the Australian Public Affairs Information Service (APAIS) subject index and the Australian Public Affairs Full Text (APAFT), covering a wide range of topics from scholarly articles in the social sciences and humanities to law-related topics
The advantages of this resource include:
Comprehensive Educational Research: Informit’s A+ Education database provides access to over 226,000 records of educational research. It covers a wide range of topics, from early childhood education to lifelong learning.
Authoritative Sources: Informit partners with the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) to create content. This ensures that the information is from reputable and trusted sources.
The limitations of this resource include:
Coverage: While Informit provides a substantial collection, its coverage may not be exhaustive for all educational topics.
Geographic Focus: Informit primarily focuses on Australasian scholarly content. If educators require a broader international perspective, they may need to consult additional databases.
