ERIC, ENC, NLE-What Works Now? The changing face of education information - Jo Ann Carr, UW Madison CIMC (Rm. O)
In the summer of 2003, the U.S. Department of Education released a RFP for the ERIC system which outlined a major change in the organization and content of the venerable education resource. The summer of 2003 also brought a news story about staff reductions at the National Library of Education and the announcement of the first titles that met the standards of the new What-Works-Clearinghouse. This program will review the history of ERIC up to and including the redesign that is slated to begin in January 2004 and discuss how ERIC's history reflects governmental priorities and philosophies regarding access to education information. The development of the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse and the National Library of Education during the latter years of the 1990's and the initiation of the What Works Clearinghouse in 2002 will also be examined as part of this program. As a member of advisory boards for ERIC, the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse and the National Library of Education , the presenter has gained a first hand look at these developments and can provide unique perspectives on the development of information that serve the largest group of knowledge workers in the American economy.
