>Hi Mary,
>
>I work for AskERIC an Internet Q & A Service. The ERIC database is the
>world's largest database of publications in the field of educational
>research and practice.  At AskERIC we perform ERIC searches and point to
>education-related information sources on the Internet.
>
>ERIC has 16 subject specific clearinghouses.  We receive questions like your
>frequently and have many resources available.  I have included the URL for
>the Assessment Clearinghouse.  Review the 1995 full text digest, _Making
>the  A: How to Study for Tests._    (Select Briefing Papers - Digests)
>
>Also, I conducted a sample search of the ERIC database.  At the end of
>this message, I have appended my search strategy, citations with
>abstracts, and directions for accessing the full-text.  These citations
>may represent an introductory, rather than exhaustive, search for information
>on your topic.

>If you would like to conduct your own free ERIC database searches via the
>Internet, go directly to http://ericir.syr.edu.  If you have any questions
>or would like further assistance, please do not hesitate to send a message
>to AskERIC@ericir.syr.edu.
