The following message is from the ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and
Vocational Education:

Hello,

This message is to inform you that the ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career,
and Vocational Education will be closing as of December 31, 2003.  Please
read the official message below. Thank you for all your contributions to the
ERIC database. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Notice to ERIC Database Contributors, Partners, and Vendors

In January 2004, the Department of Education will begin to implement a
reengineering plan for ERIC. The new ERIC mission continues the core
function of providing a centralized bibliographic database of journal
articles and other published and unpublished education materials. It
enhances the database by adding free full text and electronic links to
commercial sources and by making it easy to use and up to date.

Beginning in January and until the new ERIC model for acquiring education
literature is developed later in 2004, no new materials will be received and
accepted for the database. However, the ERIC database will continue to grow,
as thousands of documents selected by the ERIC clearinghouses throughout
2003 will be added. When the new model is ready later in 2004, the new ERIC
contractor will communicate with publishers, education organizations, and
other database contributors to add publications and materials released from
January 2004 forward.

ERIC clearinghouses, including AskERIC, close at the end of December  2003.
During the transition period, continue to use the following ERIC website
