I have been looking for Internet access to ERIC this week also. Thanks to our
modertor Jim Milles, I dipped into the CWIS at Washingto University Law Library
and came up with the following telnet address for ERIC:  telnet library.ubc.
ca.  This is the Univeristy of British Columbia Library.

Be prepared to do a lot of browsing at this library.  It has a lot of
interesting stuff.

Hi, All.  Appended is ERIC access information as contained in
two ERIC networker issues. The issues are available in electronic form
from the location cited in the second digest (the UNC BBS). They
may also be had from ERIC, on paper, for free (I think!).

Since many NETTRAIN users may be new, I am re-posting this.  Notice
that it was first posted to nettrain on 9 November by Jean Polly,
and would have been accessible, presumably, via an LDBASE
search of listserv@ubvm.

              ACCESSING THE ERIC DATABASE THROUGH SUINFO

Internet users can access the latest five years of the ERIC Database
through SUINFO, a campus information system at Syracuse University
that uses the SPIRES/PRISM interface.  Instructions follow:

     SUINFO screen.  Read the messages and type Y to continue.
     (Note:  If you do not get the welcome screen, try typing SUINFO
     again and hit return.)
