ERIC Adds Find in a Library Feature

Starting today, individuals who search ERIC at www.eric.ed.gov may notice a Find in a Library link in the search results. 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.

The Find in a Library feature 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 seamless access to available full text. If no full text is available users may choose to link to WorldCat.
