The New York State Library has an extensive collection of education and education-related information, current and historical. This collection includes Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) indexes, ERIC documents, New York State, Federal and other state documents, college catalogs, books and journals. As a depository for New York State documents, the State Library has a comprehensive collection of these publications. Assembly and Senate documents, the Legislative Document series, Judicial Decisions of the Commissioner of Education and documents of the Board of Regents are just a few of the many resources available in the State Library which deal with education law.
