Good news for education and counseling/psych researchers from two databases in CCOL

Good news #1: For the last two years, the big US-government funded education database ERIC has had to remove much of its full text collection due to copyright issues.  As of July 31, ERIC has announced that 94% of these documents have been restored. They are also cleaning up documents that were unreadable due to technical reasons. Cambridge College Online Library searches ERIC in our Education, Counseling/Psych, and Search for All search boxes.

Good news #2  The PsycBooks database from American Psychological Association has announced these changes:
