AskEric Service Discontinued

Notice
The ERIC Clearinghouse on Information & Technology (ERIC/IT) and the AskERIC Service have been discontinued as a result of reorganization of the ERIC program by the United States Department of Education.

Most of the resources previously found on the ERIC/IT and AskERIC websites may be found at
The Educator’s Reference Desk: www.eduref.org.
Additional education resources may be found at The Gateway to Educational Materials (GEM): www.thegateway.org.

While the Educator’s Reference Desk website includes most of the resources formerly found on AskERIC, the AskERIC question answering service is not included.

Most Used Databases

Today we gave some basic instruction to students in HDFS 225 and EN 104 on how to find articles for their research assignment.

In the end I hope students know they should go to the Library’s homepage at
Library Home Page and click “Most Used Databases” on the far left to get to the most used databases that house full-text journal articles. The library has subscriptions to over 240 databases but the link for “All Databases” will get them to the whole list of library database.
