Abstract

In recent years, the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system has undergone tremendous changes in the kinds of products and services it offers and the methods by which users can access them. AskERIC, a computer network-based question-answering service and virtual library, exemplifies these changes. This article describes AskERIC, other ERIC gopher sites, the National Parent Information Network, ERIC listserv activity on the Internet, and ERIC 's offerings on commercial online services. It also lists resources for librarians who do training sessions on ERIC and sketches ERIC's future direction.
