*********************************
Well, after three years of keeping you up-to-date on happenings at
AskERIC, we present you with our final AskERIC Update newsletter. Changes
in the way the ERIC system is run have resulted in the discontinuation of
our service. It seems unreal, but the AskERIC service will be closing
tomorrow, December 19th. To keep our tradition of service alive, the
resources at askeric.org have moved to a new home, the Educator's
Reference Desk (www.eduref.org <http://www.eduref.org/>). Through this
new site you can still
access AskERIC's 2,000+ lesson plans, 3,000+ links to online education
information, and 200+ question archive responses. While the question
answer service will no longer be active, The Educator's Reference Desk
provides the same search interface to the ERIC Database, providing access
to over one million bibliographic records on educational research, theory,
and practice. AskERIC Update will not be available at this site, but we
have created a page with all the ERIC database tips we've provided to you
over the years (http://www.eduref.org/Eric/Help/dbfaqs.shtml). Please plan
to visit the Educator's Reference Desk today!
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your use and support
of AskERIC. Over the past decade, our experts have responded to over
335,000 requests for education information, and our web site has served
4.5 million visitors a year. With your help, AskERIC was called one of the
"greatest educator resources online". Thanks for making our project such a
success! It has been our pleasure to serve you for eleven years!
