CBCA Education is a database that the Library subscribes to that lists references to journal and magazine articles in the area of Canadian (mostly) education. Note that newsletters like the Sask. Teachers Federation Bulletin are included, not just academic journals
Google itself is a database that lists references (in this case, URLs) to Web documents from all over the world
About 1/3 of the articles listed in the CBCA Education database are available full text online from it; many others are available either in paper copy or in another journal article database from the library
To get to CBCA Education, go to Library’s homepage: http://www.uregina.ca/library

Click the Databases tab in the middle of the screen
At Find Database by Subject, use the drop-down menu to select Education, and click Find
Scroll down and click CBCA Education
If you’re coming from off campus, you’ll be asked for an ID and password. Your ID is your last name, without hyphens or spaces and in lower case, and your password is the barcode number (not student number) on your student ID card. Or you can use your U of R e-mail/URCourses/computer account ID and password instead
Click Advanced Search above the search box: it's easier to use due to giving you a fill-in-the-blanks format
Note both the Help link with the question mark at the top right of the page: , and the Tips link above the search boxes: the Help will provide help on doing an Advanced Search, and the Tips provide help with things like Boolean operators, phrase searching, etc.
