Although ERIC claimed two months ago they had restored their documents, that is not entirely true

In a press release on May 14, the ERIC database said it had restored 21,000 ED documents that had been temporarily removed for copyright problems.  However, those 21,000 are not the entire ED collection to 2005. So, when you get an ERIC result, it may still say that the full-text is not available yet due to ERIC's need to resolve copyright issues. The ERIC database is a product of the US government and totally out of the control of Cambridge College.

Nonetheless, you can still see hundreds of thousands of journal articles from ERIC, which is fully integrated with our CCOL search boxes for Education, Psychology/Counseling, and Search All.
