"AskERIC" gets new name and internet
address
AskERIC--a
personalized internet service providing information and assistance to
teachers, librarians, counselors, administrators, and parents--has announced a
new service and name—the Educator’s Reference Desk-- to replace the
resources educators have come to depend on for more than a decade.
Although the US Department of Education
discontinued the original AskERIC service as of Dec. 19, school leaders
and other education stakeholders still will have access to the rich array of
information amassed by the service's parent organization, the Educational
Resources Information Center (ERIC). Through the new Educator's Reference
Desk, you can access the 2,000-plus lesson plans, 3,000-plus links to
online education information, and 200-plus question archive responses that
were available through the former AskERIC service. The
question-and-answer service is no longer active, but the Educator's
Reference Desk does include a search interface to the ERIC Database,
providing access to more than one million bibliographic records on educational
research, theory, and practice.
