About the Library

The Library, created by the National Institute for Urban School Improvement, is a searchable online database intended to help bridge the gap between research and practice in the overlapping fields of urban education and inclusive schooling. The Library contains annotated references to the full range of research and information related to these areas. In addition to books and journal articles, the Library contains descriptions of videos, position papers, project reports, program descriptions, and a variety of other media. The database is updated regularly, so check it often.

We welcome suggestions from the field! If you know of a resource that you feel has broad applicability or appeal, please email: niusi@edc.org for possible inclusion in our Library database.
