Forget the Stacks!

In this modern age, graduate students are not required to search through the dreaded "Stacks" section of University libraries. Rather, search engines such as ERIC provide a fast and effective means to conducting literature research. I thought it would take forevver to shift through articles relating to our research question, "What is PBL," but in less than 5 minutes I found this:

 http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=ijpbl
 Savery, John R. (2006) "Overview of Problem-based Learning: Definitions and Distinctions," Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based
Learning: Vol. 1: Iss. 1, Article 3.
Available at: http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/ijpbl/vol1/iss1/3

Allison's article- Does PBL work?

Vernon, D. A., & Blake, R. L. (1993). Does Problem-Based Learning Work? A Meta-Analysis of Evaluative Research. Academic Medicine, 68(7), 550-63.

So, next time you have to do a review of literature, start your search with a database, not the stacks!
