Part IV Statement of Work Specific Requirements for Each 
Clearinghouse

Part IV of this Statement of Work provides for each Clearinghouse an
estimate of the number of documents to be acquired, selected, and processed
annually for entry into RIE.  Given unanticipated changes in resources, a
proliferation of new materials, or other factors, the contractor may at any
time suggest changes to the proposed RIE levels, subject to approval by the
Contracting Officer and recommendation by the COTR.  In addition, estimates
of the number of articles to be processed annually for entry into CIJE are
included for each Clearinghouse, together with estimates of the number of
ERIC Digests, major publications, etc., to be produced.

This section also provides for each Clearinghouse an estimate of the number
of AskERIC questions to be answered annually.  Because the number and
Clearinghouse distribution of AskERIC questions depends on customer demand,
hot topics, and other factors, it is difficult to predict accurately how
many questions in each Clearinghouse's scope will require response. 
Therefore, the contractor may be required to answer additional questions
beyond the estimate, in which case appropriate compensation would be
arranged with the lead AskERIC Clearinghouse for the extra volume.  If the
number of AskERIC questions falls short of the estimate, the contractor may
at any time suggest changes to the proposed level, subject to approval by
the Contracting Officer and recommendation by the COTR.

Part IV of this Statement of Work also describes the specific content
coverages of each Clearinghouse, provides estimated levels of effort for
each Task, and describes the journals to be indexed on behalf of the entire
ERIC system by each Clearinghouse.  The ERIC Processing Manual (Appendix A)
contains full definitions of the individual scope area for each
Clearinghouse.

PART IV of this Statement of Work is in 16 sections, as follows:

    ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and Evaluation
    ERIC Clearinghouse for Community Colleges
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Counseling and Student Services
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Higher Education
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication
         ERIC Clearinghouse on Rural Education and Small Schools
    ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education
    ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education
    ERIC Clearinghouse on Teaching and Teacher Education 
         ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education
 ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education
                                

A.   Scope of Interest

All levels of adult and continuing education from basic literacy training
through professional skill upgrading.  Career education and career
development programs for all ages and populations in educational,
institutional, business, and industry settings.  Vocational and technical
education, including school-to-work, tech prep, technology education, 
covering all service occupations for secondary, postsecondary, and adult
populations.

See Reference 4,  pp. A-3 - 8 for complete statement. 

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 92 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in Education
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       

(2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      

(3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

E.   Special Project   Update User Services Manual

Introduction

The ERIC User Services Manual was developed in 1991 by the ERIC
Clearinghouse on Adult, Vocational, and Career Education (CE) as part of an
ERIC system task force.  This manual provided guidance, suggestions, and
examples for effectively conducting the wide range of ERIC user services
activities.  (See Task 3, Part III. and B.3, Part II. in the Statement of
Work.)  The  Clearinghouse updated the manual in 1997 to incorporate changes
due to new electronic technology and to reflect current practices in user
services.   The government needs to update this manual for this important
function every two years.

Scope of Work

The purpose of this Special Project is to update and maintain the ERIC User
Services Manual every two years for the whole ERIC system.

The contractor shall perform the following tasks:

1) The contractor shall update general information in the current manual
about the provision of user services.  The contractor shall include the
following sections and categories in the manual: "What are User Services?" ,
 "Who Provides User Services?",  "How are User Services Provided?",  "Record
keeping",  "Outreach",  "ERIC Partners",   "Skills Needed for User
Services",  "Staff Development", and "How to Conduct an ERIC Workshop for
Searchers/Librarians".  Other topics may be added or deleted as determined
by system wide needs and directions.  (The 1997 User Services Manual is
included in Reference 5.)

2) The contractor shall collect information and produce a draft of the
manual by the Spring ERIC Technical Meeting in Year 2000 and again in Year
2002.  In developing the manual the contractor shall consult with all user
services coordinators and other ERIC personnel who have experience in a

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 35 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in Education
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

1)   Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       

(2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      

(3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

    ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education
                                

A.   Scope of Interest

All aspects of the education and development of persons (of all ages) who
have disabilities or who are gifted, including the delivery of
education-related services to these groups.  Includes prevention,
identification and assessment, intervention, and enrichment for these
groups, in both regular and special education settings.

See Reference 4, pp. A-29 - 34 for complete statement.

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 58 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in Education
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       

(2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      

(3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

 ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education
                                

A.   Scope of Interest

All aspects of the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, educational, and
cultural development of children, from birth through early adolescence. 
among the topics covered are:  prenatal and infant development and care;
parent education, parenting, and family relationships; home and school
relationships; learning theory research and practice related to children's
development; preparation of early childhood teachers and care givers; and
educational programs and community services for children.

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 48 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articlesinto The Current Index of Journals in Education 
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       (2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      (3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

E.   Special Project   National Parent Information Network (NPIN) Component -- ERIC
     Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education

Introduction

The National Parent Information Network is an Internet-based information
system and service for parents and the people who support them in the
raising and educating of their children.  There are two components of the
project, one based at the ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early
Childhood Education, the other based at the ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban
Education.  This Statement of Work (SOW) addresses the ERIC Clearinghouse on
Elementary and Early Childhood Education component.   The increased use of
information technology by the general public, including parents, has
exploded exponentially.  To meet this challenge and need of providing
information to parents, the ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early
Childhood Education (EECE) has built and manages a component of the National
Parent's Information Network (NPIN), one of ERIC's two Internet
infrastructures for parents and early childhood educators. This
clearinghouse focuses on resource development and question-answering for
parents and minorities to increase the opportunities and access to NPIN
information.

Parents, especially, require information that addresses their needs, is
readily available, and is also useful to the specialists who serve their
children.  To achieve this goal, The ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary
Education needs to continue working toward maximizing three major objectives:

1.   Expand the existing base of information that specifically addresses the
needs of parents and      their families.

2.   Enhance existing systems in order to increase parents and their
families' access to that      information through Internet. 

3.   Continue and expand activities with network partners, especially the
ERIC Clearinghouse on      Urban Education and the AskERIC component hosted
at the ERIC Clearinghouse on      Information and Technology.

                         Scope of Work   Task 5.  System Improvement
Activities and Special Projects.          Subtask 5.2.  Participate in
Special Projects.

The contractor shall:

1)   Continue to refine the systematic acquisition of materials from major
parenting programs,      from professional organizations and from state
departments of education. 

2)   Increase access to NPIN by conducting training and consultation
programs for families and for      organizations that serve them.

3)   Continue to review and modify the organization of materials to ensure
the continued ease of      use by parents and early childhood educators.

4)   Provide systematic coverage of the education, child development, and
child care news in      language intended for parents as well as early
childhood educators.

5)   Increase capacity and expertise in the delivery of information directly
to parents and parent      educators by keeping its Internet presence
state-of-the-art.

6)   Coordinate its information base building and accessibility activities
regularly (at least monthly)      with other ERIC system components,
especially the Clearinghouse on Urban Education's      Urban/Minority Family
Section on the Urban Education Web site and AskERIC.  

F.   Special Project   Chair and Coordinate the ERIC Directors' Executive
Committee

The effective functioning of the ERIC Directors' Executive Committee is
vital to the integrity of the ERIC system.  The Committee is an elected
system-wide group whose work is mandated in Subtask 5.2 of this Statement of
Work.   Duties include:

    planning and implementing the agenda for the semi-annual national ERIC
Directors' Meeting;

    considering all recommendations resulting from national meetings or
recommendations      received from Clearinghouses at anytime;

    making recommendations for action to the ERIC program office; and

    carrying out projects on behalf of the ERIC system as approved by the
ERIC program office.

If the chair of the ERIC Directors' Executive Committee changes to another
ERIC contractor during the contract period, this special project will be
transferred to that contractor.

        ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology
                                

A.   Scope of Interest

Educational technology (with emphasis on instructional design, development,
and evaluation) and library/information science at all academic levels and
with all populations, including the preparation of professionals. The media
and devices of educational communications: computers and microcomputers,
computer networks, telecommunications (cable, broadcast satellite,
Internet), audio and video recordings, film and other audiovisual materials,
as they pertain to teaching and learning (in both conventional and distance
education settings). The operation and management of libraries and
information services for education-related organizations, including
acquisition and organization of materials, automation, access, censorship,
and information storage, retrieval, and use.  All aspects of information
management and information technology related to education.

See Reference 4, pp. A-45 - 49 for complete statement.

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 117 professional journals have been assigned to this
clearinghouse for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in
Education (CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:   

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       (2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      (3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

E.   Special Project   AskERIC

Introduction

AskERIC is the highly successful, award-winning, Internet-based, education
information service of the U.S. Department of Education.  AskERIC uses the
Internet, commercial networks, and the emerging national information
infrastructure to provide high-quality and timely education information to
educators and the public.

Each week, AskERIC provides information about learning and teaching to
thousands of teachers, administrators, library media specialists, parents,
community members and others through e-mail and an Internet-based resource
collection.  Since AskERIC began in 1992, AskERIC specialists have responded
to more than 100,000 e-mail inquiries.  AskERIC currently receives more than
900 e-mail questions per week, and this growth shows no signs of abating.

                         Scope of Work   Task 5.  System Improvement
Activities and Special Projects.          Subtask 5.2.  Participate in
Special Projects.

The purpose of this Special Project is to maintain the following tasks.

1)   AskERIC Question-Answering Service.  The contractor shall maintain
AskERIC's question-answering capability of answering approximately 900
questions per week during the initial year of this contract.  The contractor
shall distribute most questions to the appropriate Clearinghouse based
primarily on the subject scope of the question.  On occasion, the contractor
may need to avoid overloading an individual Clearinghouse by distributing
some questions to other Clearinghouses.  The contractor shall distribute
funds for this special project based on demand and the distribution of
questions to the other ERIC clearinghouses.  The contractor shall attempt to
balance distribution in accordance with the estimated volume of questions
listed for each Clearinghouse in Part IV of this Statement of Work.  The
contractor shall insure that the number and expertise of personnel staffing
this task are sufficient to maintain current quality standards.

The contractor shall revise and update the System-wide Guide to AskERIC
Question Answering as necessary (at least annually) in consultation with
Clearinghouse user services personnel.

The contractor shall maintain and enhance electronic systems and mechanisms
for storing customer questions, tracking referrals and AskERIC responses,
and analyzing the information, including trends in topics, distribution of
referrals, and response time by Clearinghouse.

2)   AskERIC Virtual Library.  The contractor shall maintain AskERIC's
Virtual Library, and where feasible, add more of the following:  ERIC
searches, AskERIC InfoGuides, etc.  The objective shall be to maintain at
least 30,000 users per week, which is roughly equivalent to 300,000 hits per
week, during the initial year of this contract and increase the number, if
possible.

The contractor shall coordinate the participation of the Clearinghouses in
maintaining a digital reference collection of network resources and links to
assist in answering AskERIC questions.  Each Clearinghouse will be expected
to identify, enter, and regularly update resources and links in its subject
scope.  The AskERIC contractor shall host the collection, maintain its
overall organization, develop appropriate guidelines and procedures, and
instruct and assist Clearinghouse user services staff in its use.

The contractor shall determine priorities for information to be added to the
AskERIC Virtual Library and existing information to be updated, based
largely on trends in AskERIC questions and customer feedback, as well as
feedback from the ERIC Internet/Web task force and other ERIC components. 
The contractor shall recommend and implement ways to distribute content
creation and maintenance to the Clearinghouses and other components, within
frameworks and guidelines to ensure ease of use for customers.

3)   AskERIC Network Building.  In order to enhance the use of AskERIC's
products and services, it is essential to continue  active network-building
activities by reaching more organizations, such as State Education Agencies
(SEAs) and commercial entities.  Included in this activity is maintaining
AskERIC's presence within the Department of Education in consort with the
National Library of Education.  For example, the project currently operates
four electronic discussion groups within ED. The contractor shall at least
maintain that level of work. If feasible, the contractor may add other
discussion groups but only if they allow the contractor to stay within
current funding constraints.

4)   AskERIC Systems Support. Systems support shall be maintained at the
current level in order to assure the effectiveness of the system, especially
in the areas of AskERIC Question-Answering and Virtual Library activities.

5)   AskERIC R&D.  In order to keep AskERIC on the leading edge of
electronic information transfer, the contractor shall continue to explore
the full range of emerging technologies such as multimedia, new formats for
retrieval systems, full-text systems, etc.  Also, a significant portion of
this effort shall go into evaluating the effectiveness of the AskERIC
project because of its national prominence and importance to American
education.  Senior staff time shall be committed to this task in order to
assure the quality and effectiveness of the AskERIC R&D effort, including
the evaluation.

6)   AskERIC Annual Meeting.  The contractor shall sponsor, plan, and run an
annual meeting of Clearinghouse and other organizations involved in AskERIC,
with special emphasis on question-answering. 
        ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics                     
           

A.   Scope of Interest

Languages and language sciences. All aspects of second language instruction
and learning in all commonly and less commonly taught languages, including
English as a second language and signed languages. Native language learning
and instruction in all languages other than English. Bilingualism and
bilingual education. Cultural education in the context of second language
learning, including intercultural communication, study abroad, and
international educational exchange. All areas of linguistics, including
theoretical and applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics.

See Reference 4 pp. A-35 - 40 for complete statement.

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 71 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in Education
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       (2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      (3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and      Environmental
Education
                                   

A.   Scope of Interest

Science, mathematics, engineering/technology, and environmental education at
all levels.  The following topics when focused on any of the above broad
scope areas:  applications of learning theory; curriculum and instructional
materials; teachers and teacher education; educational programs and
projects; research and evaluative studies; applications of educational
technology and media.

See Reference 4, pp. A-67 - 72 for complete statement.

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 106 professional journals have been assigned to this
clearinghouse for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in
Education (CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       (2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      (3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

 ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education
                                

A.   Scope of Interest

All aspects of Social Studies and Social Science Education, including values
education (and the social aspects of environmental education and sex
education), international education, comparative education, and
cross-cultural studies in all subject areas (K-12).  Ethnic heritage, gender
equity, aging, and social bias/discrimination topics.  Also covered are
music, art, and architecture as related to the fine arts.

See Reference 4, pp. A-73 - 82 for complete statement.

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 89 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in Education
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       (2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      (3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

E.   Special Project   Chair and Coordinate the ERIC Technical Steering
Committee

The effective functioning of the ERIC Technical Steering Committee is vital
to the integrity of the ERIC system.  The Committee is a system-wide group
whose work is mandated in Subtask 5.2 of this Statement of Work.

Duties include:

    planning and implementing the agenda for the annual national ERIC
Technical meeting;

    providing planning assistance for local/regional meetings as requested;

    considering all recommendations resulting from national meetings or
recommendations      received from Clearinghouses at anytime;


    making recommendations for action to the ERIC program office; and

    carrying out projects on behalf of the ERIC system as approved by the
ERIC program office.

At the end of the first year of the new contract, a system of rotation of
the chairperson shall be enacted.  The chair shall be elected at the Annual
Technical meeting.

If the chair of the ERIC Technical Steering Committee changes to another
ERIC contractor during the contract period, this special project will be
transferred to that contractor. 
      ERIC Clearinghouse on Teaching and Teacher Education

B.   Professional Journal Coverage

A total of 50 professional journals have been assigned to this clearinghouse
for input of articles into The Current Index of Journals in Education
(CIJE).  Journal coverage falls into these categories:

(1)  Comprehensive:  All articles from assigned, high quality  journals that
are focused entirely on      the field of education (CORE JOURNALS)  are
processed into the database.  This excludes      editorials, letters to the
editor, schedules of events, newsletters, book reviews, regular      columns
and advertising.       (2)  Selective:  All substantive education-related
articles from assigned but non-CORE journals      are processed into the
database.      (3)  "One Shots":  Substantive education-related articles in
journals that are not routinely      reviewed for the ERIC database are
processed into the database.  These journals are not      assigned to the
Clearinghouse, do not appear in the Source Journal Index for ERIC and     
articles from them are entered into the system on an ad hoc basis.

E.   Special Project - National Parent Information Network (NPIN) Component -- ERIC
     Clearinghouse on Urban Education

Introduction

The National Parent Information Network is an Internet-based information
system and service for  parents and the people who support them in the
raising and educating of their children. There are two components of the
project, one based at the ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary  and Early
Childhood Education, the other based at the ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban
Education.  This Statement of Work (SOW) addresses the ERIC Clearinghouse on
Urban Education NPIN component.   Urban and minority families need access to
more information in order to help them participate more actively and help
improve I their children's education.  Parents, especially, require
information that addresses their needs, is readily available, and is also
useful to the specialists who serve their children.  To achieve this goal,
The ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education needs to continue working toward
maximizing three major objectives:

1.   Expand the base of information that specifically addresses the needs of
minority and urban      parents and their families.

2.   Enhance existing systems in order to increase minority and urban
parents and their families'      access to that information through Internet.

3.   Continue and expand activities with network partners, especially the
ERIC Clearinghouse on      Elementary and Early Childhood and the AskERIC
component hosted at the ERIC      Clearinghouse on Information and
Technology.

                         Scope of Work   Task 5.  System Improvement
Activities and Special Projects.          Subtask 5.2.  Participate in
Special Projects.

The contractor shall:

1.   Expand and add to the Urban/Minority Family section of the Urban
Education Web site's      information base by acquiring full-text manuals,
research reports, program design guides,      parent guides, pertinent ERIC
Digests, annotated bibliographies, conference announcements,      and ERIC
abstracts of selected publications.

2.   Increase the access to NPIN by conducting training and consultation
programs for urban and      minority families and for organizations that
serve them.

3.   Coordinate its information base building and accessibility activities
with the ERIC      Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education
and AskERIC on a regular      basis, at least monthly.
