According to information provided by the acting director of the Institute of Educational Sciences, Matthew Soldner, some funding has been restored to ERIC. At this time we are unsure how much scholarly content will no longer be updated, or what this means for indexed grey literature through the What Works Clearinghouse. There are indications that there will be a constriction of future indexed information, as well as the elimination of the ERIC Help Desk and other services.
Despite these changes, previously uploaded material in ERIC still remains accessible. UGA users can still access ERIC directly or via our EBSCO and ProQuest instances, which will retain historic records and, we anticipate, continue to ingest any newly created records.
Volunteers from the Data Rescue Project (DRP) have been working for the last few weeks to create a back up to the ERIC catalog called ERICA, which includes full-text PDFs.
