in each of the bibliography's nine subject areas over the past year. Team members reviewed library databases such as Education Full Text, WorldCat, EBSCO, and ERIC, as well as leading empirical journals, to select relevant reports in each area of the bibliography. Because this bibliography is published for readers of Research in the Teaching of English, we asked contributors not to include articles from RTE, which would most likely already be familiar to the audience.The expert teams looked for major or large studies that held significant implications for teaching English language arts, as well as research that might lead to new insights into the paradigms or methodological practices within a given field in the coming years. Of course we could not include every high-quality research study conducted in the nine content areas of this bibliography over the past year; instead, the background knowledge and perceptions of the contributors worked together to construct a manageable body of important research that RTE readers might want to explore further.As was the case for previous versions, this year's bibliography is available solely as a downloadable PDF file at http://www.ncte.org/journals/rte/biblios. We appreciate the fact that NCTE has provided free access to these annual bibliographies going back to 2003.Readers can search the PDF for relevant research by using the "Find" feature on Adobe Acrobat to locate particular topics, authors, or journals. To engage in topic searches, readers can also use the tags listed both below and in the beginning of each section. These tags represent some of the most common topics inductively derived from the abstracted studies. While there could be many more tags, we wanted to limit them to a manageable number. Each abstract has been assigned up to four tags, beginning with a section tag (for example, #digital/technologytools) and, in many cases, followed by another section tag (for example, #reading). Because many of the studies in this bibliography fall into multiple categories, readers can search for such studies by entering both section tags (for example, #literaryresponse/ literature/narrative #reading).We hope that this searchable bibliography, which has been edited to select high-quality research and which includes abstracts created by the contributors, continues to provide a valuable service to the RTE scholarly community.
