The Educator’s Reference Desk is Now Online
AskERIC is gone (other ERIC Clearinghouses have also closed). However, many of the important resources AskERIC provided are now available via The Educator’s Reference Desk. ERD is a service of The Information Institute at Syracuse University.
From the site, “Through The Educator’s Reference Desk (http://www.eduref.org) you can access AskERIC’s 2,000+ lesson plans, 3,000+ links to online education information, and 200+ question archive responses. While the question answer service will no longer be active, The Educator’s Reference Desk provides a search interface to the ERIC Database, providing access to over one million bibliographic records on educational research, theory, and practice.”

I have also compiled a list of where some ERIC Clearinghouse material can now be accessed.

See Also: ERIC Database will not be accepting new material until “later” in 2004.
“Beginning in January and until the new ERIC model for acquiring education literature is developed later in 2004, no new materials will be received and accepted for the database. When the new model is ready later in 2004, the Department will communicate with publishers, education organizations, and other database contributors to add publications and materials released from January 2004 forward. The ERIC database will continue to grow, as thousands of documents selected by the ERIC clearinghouses throughout 2003 will be added. Database vendors will receive updated database files containing the newly added records.”
