Wilson's Education Full Text Expands with ERIC Data
H.W. Wilson is now offering subscribers to its WilsonWeb Education Full Text or OmniFile Full Text Mega databases free access to ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), giving academic and public libraries the ability to grow the resources available to their students and patrons at no extra cost.
Education Full Text has been expanded with data from ERIC, creating a combined source for one-stop educational research. ERIC resources include more than 1.1 million citations, 100,000 full-text articles and 600 journals, providing academics and researchers with:
- Cross-references to Wilson's education subject thesaurus. The Wilson Education subject thesaurus is integrated into the ERIC thesaurus on WilsonWeb.
- WilsonWeb's All Smart search applied to the vast ERIC data. Relevancy ranking that accounts for the importance of the field in which a search term is found (e.g. subject, title, abstract, author or full text).
- Saved searches and search histories. My WilsonWeb profiles allow users to create and manage saved searches, search histories and more.
- Content Discovery Keys in search results. Convenient links launch related searches, allow users to narrow results by author, subject, publication year, document type and database (for multiple-database searches) or select previous searches from the Recent Searches listing.
Contact BCR's Maura Dunn (mdunn@bcr.org) to have ERIC added free to your Education Full Text or OmniFile Full Text Mega subscription.
