Abstract	This paper provides information about OERI-funded databases containing information about teachers and teaching, and offers a way of thinking about the use of these databases. It is pointed out that while the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) is committed to making its work more accessible to policy, research, and practitioner audiences, it remains difficult to gain access to information about existing and planned databases and research program agendas. An analysis is presented of effective ways to utilize information resources. It is suggested that one way to facilitate access is to organize the dissemination of the databases' potential around specific questions of interest. To demonstrate this method, questionnaires were developed on three areas of importance for professionalism in teaching: teaching activities, professional development, and qualifications. For each category, a definition is outlined, some of the significant work in the area is pointed out, and a connection is drawn between the area and its importance for professionalism in teaching. The database information for each questionnaire is presented in the appendix. (JD)
