The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) database is the world's
largest collection of educational materials, spanning more than a quarter
century of federally-supported education resource management. The database
contains over 760,000 bibliographic records of documents and journal
articles; approximately 8,000 records are added with each quarterly update
disc. Research papers, dissertations, conference proceedings, literature
reviews, syllabi, curricula, and articles from approximately 800
education-related journals are indexed and abstracted for the ERIC
database. And the full text of most of the documents is readily available,
at cost, from the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS).

** ERIC Digests are timely two-page research syntheses prepared by the
specialists in the twenty ERIC clearinghouses and adjunct clearinghouses.
Approximately 1,000 digests address the full spectrum of topics in
education, compiling the latest research using the most valuable material
entering the ERIC database.

** The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors is the complete list of almost 10,000
official index terms used by the ERIC system.

ERIC is used by teachers, students, parents, librarians, school boards,
administrators, journalists, civil servants, and other professionals in
every state and over 100 countries. Document acquisition focused in
specific subject areas is made possible by the ERIC network of
clearinghouses and related service organizations. With ERIC on CD-ROM, you
will be able to make best use of the efforts of this entire resource
system.

This is a complete, advanced, new ERIC CD-ROM product, free with a
subscription to any other NISC DISC*. Why is NISC doing this? What better
