1. CIJE indexes journals at levels of coverage ranging from “selective” and “education-related,” to “comprehensive,” depending upon the journal's perceived importance and relevance to the field of education. Further explanation is available in the “Source Journal Index” sections of Current Index to Journals in Education: Semiannual Cumulation, January– June 1994, viii-xxx and the July–December 1994 issue, viii-xxx (Phoenix, AZ: Oryx Press, 1995).

3. CIJE rarely includes book or product reviews, while Education Index has a more expansive policy of coverage. Book reviews must be substantial, and be “pertinent to some aspect of education or be a textbook,” (Barbara Chen, “FW: Questions Regarding the 'Education Index',” e-mail to M. Suzanne Brown (suzbrow@mail.uflib.ufl.edu) (April 2, 1998).
