ERIC Web Site Undergoes Redesign, Expands Coverage

ERIC is online with an updated design to their website along with more journal coverage. Here's a quick look at what's new.

+ A major restructuring features clearer, more intuitive paths to information, making the site easier to use.

+ A completely new and expanded Help section that includes brief tutorials, a glossary, and a searchable index.

+ Help tools have been integrated into the ERIC Web site. “How do I” links and help tips on key fields and features provide direct access to information that helps you take advantage of ERIC’s robust search tools and submit documents.

+ A new section, "For Librarians", consolidates information of interest to the library community into a single location. This area includes flyers, brochures, lists of ERIC microfiche, links to frequently used help topics, and other relevant information, including ways to provide feedback about ERIC.

+ Lighter visual design, so pages load faster and new graphics refresh the site while retaining ERIC’s look and feel.

+ As of June 30, 2008, ERIC has added more than 3,600 new records from newly acquired journals. Work is underway to increase coverage even further by seeking additional partnerships with publishers of both journal and non-journal literature. New journals are indexed from 2004 forward, except for titles indexed prior to ERIC’s 2004 transition to an all-electronic service. Once recent titles have been acquired and indexed, ERIC will acquire 2002-2003 electronic back issues of previously indexed titles to prevent gaps in journal coverage.
