The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a digital
library of education-related resources, sponsored by the Institute
of Education Sciences of the U.S.
Department of Education. When the ERIC digital library opened
to the public on September 1, 2004, the collection consisted primarily
of electronic bibliographic records describing journal and non-journal
literature selected by ERIC from 1966 - 2003. The collection has expanded to
include full-text articles. In years ahead, the collection may include other electronic
resources such as audio and video materials. ERIC's mission is to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-use, searchable,
Internet-based bibliographic and full-text database of education
research and information that also meets the requirements of the
Education
Sciences Reform Act of 2002. A fundamental goal for ERIC's
future is to increase the availability and quality of research
and information for educators, researchers, and the general public.
The Institute of Education Sciences is committed to continuously
improve the efficiency and utility of ERIC so that it becomes
a premier Web-based library for accessing current and historical
education resources. Among these resources will be the studies
produced by the What
Works Clearinghouse in support of the Department of Education's
initiative to identify the best scientifically based evidence
of "what works" in education. To realize its mission and goal and to meet rising user expectations
in the digital age, ERIC is undergoing significant change. Nearly
all aspects of ERIC operations are being revamped, including the
online system, resource acquisitions and processing, the list
of journals indexed, and the delivery of full-text materials.
ERIC is leveraging new technologies to streamline processing and
speed delivery of timely information. Redesigned online services
are being released to the public in phased implementations including
the centralized Web site, enhanced search and retrieval functions,
and Web site personalization tools such as the capacity for users
to save searches. ERIC is adopting metadata standards to help
users refine their database searches, and is adding metadata tags
to new database materials to provide information about resource
quality. ERIC full-text materials, previously sold by the ERIC
Document Reproduction Service (EDRS), are now available free-of-charge. While it is possible to search the ERIC database using the ERIC website, using the database provided by Decker Library offers the advantage of a more advanced search interface as well as the ability to save, print, or e-mail search results and articles.
