What previously could take hours can now usually be accomplished in seconds by scanning data from more than 120,000 files at ERIC education research clearinghouses, regional labs, national research centers and elsewhere. ED Pubs is a searchable database of all ED products and includes on-line ordering via the Internet. They maintain databases of organizations and conferences. They provide information services, database searches, publications including fact sheets on specific disabilities, state resource sheets, parent guides, bibliographies, and issue papers. Publications are available on-line, in hard copy or alternative formats.
Materials are also available in Spanish, on disk, and as camera-ready originals.
National Clearinghouse on Careers and Professions Related to Early Intervention and Education for Children with Disabilities gathers, organizes, and disseminates, in easily accessible formats, information for recruiting, preparing, and retaining personnel interested in or currently serving children with disabilities. The site includes a directory of all of the funded projects by state. The Regional Resource Centers are OSEP-funded programs that provide technical assistance services to state education agencies in the fifty states and seven U.S. jurisdictions. They are specifically funded to help states improve programs and services for children and youth with disabilities, their families, and the professionals who serve them. The ERIC-OSEP Special Project provides a searchable database of all OSEP Discretionary Projects .
