the ERIC system exists no longer. The federal government, who has funded

access to specialized reports/digests and alternative access to the ERIC
database for teachers, students of education, education faculty, and community

has moved to a private publisher by June of 2004. The "new" ERIC
database is expected to debut before January 2005.
