*** NOTICE ***

The ERIC Clearinghouse on Information & Technology
web site is no longer in operation.

The United States Department of Education continues to offer the

ERIC Database

https://www.eric.ed.gov

All ERIC Clearinghouses plus AskERIC will be closed permanently as of December 31, 2003.

In January 2004, the Department of Education will implement a reengineering plan for ERIC. The new ERIC mission continues the core function of providing a centralized bibliographic database of journal articles and other published and unpublished education materials. It enhances the database by adding free full text and electronic links to commercial sources and by making it easy to use and up to date.

From January 2004 until the new ERIC model for acquiring education literature is developed later in 2004, no new materials will be received and accepted for the database. However, the ERIC database will continue to grow, as thousands of documents selected by the ERIC clearinghouses throughout 2003 will be added. When the new model is ready later in 2004, the new ERIC contractor will communicate with publishers, education organizations, and other database contributors to add publications and materials released from January 2004 forward.

Mailing List Discussion Group Archives

Archives of some library media and education technology-related mailing lists are highlighted here.

A mailing list is an automated e-mail system on the Internet, and is related to a specific subject matter such as school librarianship. There are more than 10,000 such lists. Users subscribe to the lists via e-mail and subsequently receive all new postings made to the list automatically. Conversely, when the user sends an e-mail message is to the mailing list, it is then automatically forwarded to all of the addresses in the list.
