ERIC
1966 - present
On October 1, 2004, the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) introduced full-text access to content through a new free interface. Content includes curriculum guides, abstracts, instructional materials, research reports, bibliographies, and test and measurement instruments. Included in these materials are more than 107,000 documents that were added to the ERIC database during the period Janurary 1993 - July 2004. Previously, these materials were only available through a paid subscription to the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS), a service that is no longer available. Similarly, the AskERIC service is now defunct. If full-text cannot be found within the new ERIC database, other options include checking Squires Library's print and microfiche holdings as well as interlibrary loan.
