Changes in the ERIC-database: What now?

Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a database containing education research and information, sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education. As part of U.S. federal cost-cutting measures, a reduction in the number of indexed journals and information sources in ERIC was announced earlier this year. With this, the University Library will summarize what this reduction entails, and what alternative sources we offer.
