This article is adapted from a paper originally presented in June 1997 in Seattle at the 88th Annual Conference of the Special Libraries Association. A definitive explanation of what comprises an education library is followed by a description of methods used in seeking out such libraries on an international basis. By pursuing a specific research path, the mission, purpose, and goals, and history of each selected education library is surveyed, and the size, clientele, type of collection, services, publications, and databases are given a comprehensive examination.
