ED documents come from RIE , which provides indexing and abstracts of miscellaneous education documents, most not available through normal publishing channels. A majority of the reports are available on microfiche. Microfiche copies can be obtained by the Hinkle Library from the New York State Library. Those not available in microfiche may be obtained through regular Interlibrary Loan channels. A small number of documents are available full text and may be downloaded as PDF document images.
Identifiers often become descriptors at a later date.
Words found in titles, notes, abstracts, descriptions, subjects, as well as names of people and places. The topic that is the main focus of the document.
