Searchable Databases











 

 

The Indiana Conflict Resolution Institute is beginning to provide a variety of searchable databases on this website.  The purpose of making these databases available on the web is to facilitate the dissemination of information to a wide range of individuals.  This is an on-going project, and is still in the early stages of development.  See below for a description of the various databases. 

  ADR Literature Searches
              Literature Citation Search (searches for ADR articles and books    
              by author, title, source, publisher, or category)
              Article Summary Search (searches available ICRI article summaries 
              by keyword and displays summary)
  Indiana Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Providers: 
              Indiana ADR Provider Search
  Indiana University Faculty Interests in ADR
              IU Faculty Interests in ADR Search
              IU Faculty Interests in ADR Form, sent to ICRI

  • The bibliography database seeks to provide a comprehensive list of empirical field studies and program evaluations on conflict resolution.  The citation search will examine each record in the bibliography database, and select records according to keywords entered in one or more of the following fields: author, title, source, publisher, and/or category.  If article summaries (see below) are available, links to the summaries will be displayed in the citation results.  For more information on the contents of the bibliography citation searches, please see the database content description page.

  • Article Summary Search
         As part of a service-learning project, Institute staff and graduate students at the School for Public and Environmental Affairs have written summaries of many of the evaluations cited in the bibliography database.  The summaries describe the type of program evaluated, the evaluation design and methods used, and the evaluation's findings and conclusions. The article summary search uses a single search field, in which any keyword can be entered.  It will do a full text search of all available summaries, and will display results sorted by title, author, and category.  For more information on the contents of the bibliography article summary search, please see the database content description page.

  • Indiana ADR Provider Search
    In order to compile a list of Indiana ADR Providers, Institute staff sent out surveys to 676 Providers from the Indiana Registry of Civil and Domestic Mediators, the membership list of the Indiana chapter of the Society of Professionals in Dispute Resolution, and the Indiana State Bar Association Section on Dispute Resolution.  Please see our electronic search form to perform a search for Indiana ADR providers.   A web based version of the survey is available on our website, and may be filled out and send electronically to ICRI staff.  For more information on this project, please see the project description.  

  • IUADR Faculty Survey
         Many faculty members at Indiana University have a growing interest in alternative dispute resolution, and actively participate in related research, teaching, and service.  In order to put together a comprehensive list of faculty involved with this field of study, ICRI sent out a survey asking faculty to describe their interests and activities in alternative dispute resolution.  The information obtained was recently made available on our web page in the form of a  searchable database.  If you are an IU faculty member, you may fill out your own form to be submitted to ICRI and included in the on-line database.  This is a growing list, and we hope to add additional faculty members as we obtain more information.  Please contact us if you are an Indiana University faculty member and would like to be included in this database.
