This is a forwarded message. Please reply to the address below: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 3 Jun 1994 12:25:37 MST From: Barak Stussman <bstussma@inet.ed.gov> To: Multiple recipients of list AERA <AERA@asuacad.bitnet> Subject: Free Dissemination of Your Publications in Full-text Let the U.S. Department of Education's Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) help you disseminate the full-text of your short papers, portions of larger works, and newsletter articles in electronic format. The ERIC database is the primary bibliographic database in the field of education. The popularity of full-text, electronic information retrieval has led to a special project at ACCESS ERIC to acquire and process digest-like publications that can be added to the ERIC Digests Online (EDO) file. This file includes publications designed to provide an overview of information on a given topic, plus references to items providing more detailed information. We'd like to include your materials among the variety and number of full-text documents available in the EDO portion of the ERIC database. If you or someone at your organization has written a short paper, newsletter article, or other type of research synthesis from 2-10 pages in length on a topic of current interest in education, we encourage you to submit it for possible inclusion in the EDO file. The advantages to having the full text of your short research summaries included in ERIC are many: o They would always be "in print" because, in addition to being full-text online, they would be microfiched and archived at the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS), where they could be reproduced on demand. o They would be available through online database retrieval services and at locations offering computer searches of ERIC on CD-ROM. They would also be accessible via the Internet at several gopher sites, including the AskERIC gopher at ericir.syr.edu. o Their availability will help you automatically publicize your research to the hundreds of thousands of ERIC users annually, thus giving your work greater visibility and increasing the audience for your research. You can submit relevant materials to ACCESS ERIC on disk or electronically via the Internet (bstussma@inet.ed.gov). If your publications are not available on disk, you can submit high-quality paper copy and ACCESS ERIC will scan it. TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE YOUR FULL-TEXT MATERIALS INCLUDED IN ERIC DIGESTS ONLINE, CONTACT BARAK STUSSMAN at bstussma@inet.ed.gov (1-800-LET-ERIC toll-free). If you'd like more information about ERIC, send Barak a message requesting "A Pocket Guide to ERIC" or "All About ERIC," or call 1-800-LET-ERIC (538-3742). -------**********======================================**********-------- Gene V Glass glass@asu.edu College of Education atgvg@asuacad.bitnet Arizona State University 602-965-2692 Tempe, AZ 85287-2411
