ERIC's Find in a Library Feature

ERIC is pleased to announce the release of a powerful new Find in a Library
feature on the ERIC Web site at www.eric.ed.gov. ERIC is partnering with
OCLC to leverage the OpenURL Gateway and WorldCat to provide users with a
link from ERIC records to electronic and print resources available in
libraries. The feature dramatically streamlines the process of obtaining
full-text.

Find in a Library offers two linking paths: OpenURL access to library
holdings and WorldCat. For users associated with one of the 1,100
libraries registered with the OCLC OpenURL Gateway, selecting Find in a
Library will lead to a search of the library’s electronic holdings and
access to available full text. Only ERIC records with ISSNs or ISBNs will
display a Find in a Library link. There are 350,000 of these records in
the digital library, the majority of which are journal articles. If no full
text is available users may choose to link to WorldCat.

WorldCat is the Find in a Library default if the user’s institution is not
affiliated with the OpenURL Gateway. This service identifies the nearest
library with a print or electronic version of the desired material.
WorldCat is the world’s largest network of library content and services.
