A listing of Portals and Websites that provide links to resources relating to education in Aruba. Extensive lists of colleges and universities are available through such portals such as BRAINTRACK which links to Latin American universities (http://www.braintrack.com/linknav.htm?pprevid=13&level=2); and General Education Online (http://www.findaschool.org/). The University of Oulu, in Finland, provides an listing of the "Best Indices of Colleges and Universities World-wide" (http://www.oulu.fi/other/universities.html). While focusing on the United States, The National Library of Education is the federal government's main resource center for education information. However, one should note that at that site, the ERIC database provides a wide range of documents and articles for the international audience. The database contains more than one million abstracts of education-related documents and journal articles. One may access the ERIC database on the Internet (See AskERIC below) or through commercial vendors and public networks. The ERIC abstracts are avalable in print publications such as Resources in Education and Current Index to Journals in Education. For Latin America and the Caribbean, additional academic sources may also be found in the Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the auspices of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form. One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Higher Education is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/highered/); for Distance education (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/distance/); and for primary and secondary education (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/k-12.). Additional links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Aruba is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/other/aruba/).
