Search Engines

• The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) In January 2004, the Department of Education will begin to 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the core function of providing a centralized bibliographic database of journal articles and other published and unpublished education materials.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.

ERIC's search engine is built to accommodate users with varying levels of searching skills. Search the database using basic or advanced search options, or simply browse topics from the ERIC Thesaurus to find documents and journal articles of interest. There are other options for searching the ERIC database including commercial database services and other websites.

• The Educator's Reference Desk: Eric Database This Database is updated monthly with the latest citations available, provides access to ERIC Document citations from 1966 through November 2003 and ERIC Journal citations from 1966 through October 2003.

• Knowledge Exchange Network (KEN), the National Mental Health Services, provides linkages and referrals to consumer and family advocacy organizations; federal, state, and local mental health agencies; and many other resources.
