OneSearch uses terms from the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Likewise, each database will have a thesaurus of subjects uses to organize the database.
For example, the phrase "Social Studies" is not used by the Library of Congress, and so others must be used when searching OneSearch by subject.
Use the Study and teaching subdivision after any subject to find curriculum guides and lesson plans in OneSearch or in ERIC documents collection (see your department reference guide and go to the ERIC page for information on ERIC).
Examples:
The best strategy to use to identify curriculum guides/lesson plans in ERIC or OneSearch is to combine your subject with the phrase “lesson planning” or “curriculum planning", or "lesson" or "curriculum"
You may use the Ask a Reference Librarian for assistance in locating these guides.
