Continuing the Work of ERIC

Dear Colleague:

I am pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Education, on behalf of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), has renewed its contract with AEM Corporation to continue the work of ERIC. The largest library of education research in the world, ERIC serves more than 14 million users annually.

As we begin this new phase of work, we do so with a more refined scope. We want to assure you that no content has been removed or deleted from ERIC. The refined scope does include cost efficiencies, such as closing our helpdesk and exploring new models for meeting community member needs. As we do so, you can find materials for users on our website, including answers to the most frequently asked questions about ERIC. Going forward, we will also consolidate our social media presence under the larger IES banner. Please follow us at @IESResearch!

Throughout this change, we remain committed to ensuring the integrity of our collection. Our preservation policy is unchanged: we will not remove an article in ERIC unless it is retracted by the publisher. We are dedicated to sharing knowledge about the condition of education and "what works" to improve student achievement for the public, educators and education scientists, and policymakers, both now and into the future.

If you have questions about these changes, or about ERIC more generally, please contact me directly. I can be reached at Matthew.Soldner@ed.gov.

Best,

Matthew Soldner
Acting Director, Institute of Education Sciences
U.S. Department of Education
