The Department's website includes thousands of publications and electronic files.

On such a large site, one of the most important parts of the homepage is the finding tools.

The Department has several different ways to help you get you to the information you need. The first is the Topics from A to Z.

Topics from A to Z is an alphabetical index like the index in the back of a book.

It provides convenient links to the best starting points to find information about several hundred major topics on ED's website and other ED-funded websites.

• Topics range from Accreditation to Y2K

• The list is maintained by a professional librarian.
