Message from Dave Bretthauer, Network Services Librarian, University of Connecticut Libraries

With E*Subscribe documents now freely available via the US Dept of Ed (and the E*Subscribe site all but gone), I’ve spent a large part of today trying to figure out the easiest
way to get users to ED and EJ documents when they have the numbers.

I just learned we can search CSA’s ERIC using Accession number, and using the full ED or EJ number–for example, ED481744 or EJ677870.

The problem with using the Dept of Ed’s version of ERIC is while it links to EDs directly, EJs may be in subscription journals, and the eric.ed.gov doesn’t appear to support OpenURL linking (though I am doublechecking to be sure). So the advantage of using CSA ERIC is users should be able to link directly from the citation to either an ED or and EJ.
