OTHER ACCESS TO ERIC
Search ERIC Home Page -- a list of known, publicly-available
web, gopher, telnet, and TN3270 sites for searching ERIC http://ericae.net/search.htm
ERIC Search Wizard: http://ericae.net/scripts/ewiz/amain2.asp
allows you to access the Thesaurus of Eric Descriptors online, a very
nice,
interactive link. However, if you search ERIC on this site, you are only

Evaluation. So, use the Thesaurus, then go to the comprehensive sites to
search all of ERIC.

ERIC Digests: ERIC Digests are short reports on topics of
current
interest to educators. Produced by the 16 subject-specific ERIC
Clearinghouses,
Digests are designed to provide a timely, broad overview of a topic and
provide references to more detailed information. The full text of ERIC
Digests can be found in AskERIC's version of the ERIC Database by clicking
on the OBTAIN button in the ERIC citation. Many Digests are also available
on the Web site of the originating Clearinghouse. New Digests are often
posted on these Web sites before appearing in the ERIC Database or on the
Department of Education's site. Links to the Digest collections of
individual
Clearinghouses can be found at: http://ericir.syr.edu/Eric/Help/chdigests.html
The U.S. Department of Education also maintains a web-based collection
of full text Digests (updated quarterly) at the following URL: http://www.ed.gov/databases/ERIC_Digests/index/
http://www.edrs.com/ This site is
ERIC's
Document Reproduction Services. It is primarily designed
to provide people without access to ERIC Documents and Journal articles
a means to search and then order them directly from ERIC, for a fee [fees
not relevant for ISU users]. The opening menu offers
Express Search
and Full Search. Express Search assumes you have already
searched the ERIC database and simply requires you to enter an ERIC
Accession
Number. If you enter the number, you will retrieve a screen with the
option
of purchasing a paper, microfiche,or fax copy (price of each is
indicated).
Full Search allows field searching, combined with several date ranges.
Search help consists of clicking on a ? at the end of each search field
(info, definition & search example). You have to pick at least one
field. Clicking on the Publication Type field opens up a list of choices
(if you click on the ?, you'll get a list of the choices and code
numbers).
You can choose how your results will be sorted).
Expert Search
Strategies are sample search strategies on hot topics
developed
by some of the country's best reference librarians. These strategies
incorporate
the librarian's experience and in depth knowledge of the ERIC database.
By clicking on the link, you can load a strategy into the Search ERIC
Wizard.
You can then submit the search or modify it to meet your needs. You may
want to change the Limited to: field or modify the search strategy to
incorporate
other vocabulary terms that suit your particular need more closely.
Remember
to push the Refresh button after your alterations.
