Introduction

When you need education-related information there are many organizations to tum to—so many, in fact, that it is often
difficult to locate the appropriate source for your information needs quickly. The ERIC Directory of Education-Related
Information Centers 2000 is designed to help you identify information centers in education and related fields that can provide
you with up-to-date information.

This directory includes both federally and privately funded education-related organizations that provide services and products
such as:

© reference and referral © technical assistance

© online searches © outreach

© publications © information syntheses
© information dissemination © audiovisual materials

These organizations serve national or regional audiences and focus on topics and disciplines related to education, such as
educational administration, parent participation, and school facilities. In general, the organizations included operate on a not-
for-profit basis; however, some may charge fees for specific products and services. For-profit organizations working in areas
in which there is little non-profit activity (e.g., education video production and dissemination) are also included to enhance
the comprehensiveness of this directory.

The term “General public” in the audience field indicates that an organization accepts inquiries from any interested parties—it
is not meant to imply that an organization handles only general, nontechnical requests.

This directory is based on a database file directing users to information sources within the ERIC system as well as outside its
network of components. This information is available electronically via the Internet on the U.S. Department of Education’s
Web site at http://www.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/. For more information about this directory or ERIC, contact ACCESS ERIC
at 1-800-LET-ERIC (538-3742), send e-mail to accesseric@accesseric.org, or browse the ERIC system’s Web pages
(http://www.accesseric.org/).

How To Use This Directory

Arranged alphabetically, the Directory lists more than 685 organizations providing information relevant to education. Each
entry includes, when possible, the organization's director, a brief description, audiences, services, types of publications, hours
of operation, and contact information (including toll-free number, phone, TTY, FAX, e-mail, and URL).

A sequential identification number precedes each entry and is used for reference in the indexes. The indexes, described below,
refer to listings by entry number rather than page number.

TM = Subject Index—an alphabetical listing of subjects describing information centers' topics of emphasis; based on the
Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors and the ERIC Identifier Authority List.

= ~Geographic Index—arranged alphabetically by state.

If your organization would like to be considered for listing in future editions or you need to update your entry, complete the
form in the back and mail or FAX it to: ACCESS ERIC, 2277 Research Boulevard, 6L, Rockville, Maryland 20850; FAX:
301-519-6760. If you prefer, you can submit your information electronically using the online form Ic.cated at
http://www.ed.gov/Programs/EROD/EROD _collect.html.
