contents ERIC Education Library's New Look Debuts Online Viadero, Debra Electronic Libraries Databases Library Administration Library Services Change This article reports on the newly revamped version of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), the nation's largest electronic education library. ERIC made its debut last September with promises of more offerings to come from the federal project. In the move to upgrade and streamline ERIC, the Department of Education shut down the 16 clearinghouses that once made up the ERIC system's backbone. In place of that system, the department has erected a centralized one that operates like popular commercial Web-search engines, such as Google and Yahoo. ERIC also provides a free online thesaurus, a feature for which users previously had to pay. ERIC also has a new function that allows users to save searches and come back to them later.
