Quality information to support your research
All CDC resources can be accessed free of charge by Quebec’s college and Cegep personnel, college network partner organizations as well as university students and researchers interested in Quebec’s college network who reside in Quebec.
01
EDUQ.info, the open archive of the Quebec college network, collects, retains, and disseminates documents about teaching, learning, and institutional development in Quebec’s Cegeps and colleges. The EDUQ archive replaced the CDC online catalog (Regard) as of February 2016.
With EDUQ, you can consult full-text digital resources and borrow documents. You can query the open archive by author, title, subject, date, publisher, or language. We also offer thematic and specific collections such as:
Parea reports
Pédagogie collégiale articles
AQPC symposium proceedings
PERFORMA theses
CDC bulletins
Correspondance articles
EDUQ is freely accessible without an account or password (except the ebook collection).
EDUQ stores submitted documents (articles, theses, research reports, etc.) and ensures their dissemination throughout the college network. For more information, go to the Deposit Service section.
02
The databases offered by libraries or in open access allow access to the majority of articles free of charge. However, some items may have release restrictions that require purchase. If during your research, you locate an interesting article but you do not have free access to it, contact the CDC team.
Access to these databases is free but requires a BAnQ subscription to connect.
For help guides and tutorials, go to the Help section.
The CDC buys eBooks which are then indicated as such in ÉDUQ.info eBooks Collection. A personal CDC account is required to read or download them. For more information, or to create your account, go to the My CDC Account section.
03
Two or three times a year, the CDC publishes a bulletin to promote specific areas of its collection. For each issue, a resource person, recognized in the college network for his or her expertise in the field, is asked to select and present the resources and to write the accompanying texts.
To consult the published bulletins, go to the CDC Bulletin Collection in ÉDUQ.
To be notified of each publication of the College Documentation Bulletin, subscribe to the CDC newsletter.
04
ÉDUthès is a thesaurus in the field of education. It is an organized list of controlled and standardized terms associated with educational concepts. At the CDC, using ÉDUthès fulfills the dual purpose of providing information on the topics of the text when documents are added to ÉDUQ and of refining search terms under these topics.
For more information on how to use ÉDUthès topics when conducting a search, go to the ÉDUQ Search Tips by “Subject” section in EDUQ.
