ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) Full Text Unavailable

Full text through the ERIC database (via EBSCOhost) is currently unavailable. The full text documents for ERIC have been temporarily disabled by ERIC due to a privacy concern.

Although a search result may indicate that full text is available from ERIC, attempts to access the full text will only lead to a page that says PDF files are currently unavailable. This will happen if you click on the "Full Text from ERIC" link in a list of titles, or the "Full Text from ERIC Available online" link in a detailed record view. However, you may still come across titles with direct PDF links that are still working.

At this time, ERIC is unable to provide an estimated resolution time for this problem. If you need assistance, please contact the library at 566-9558 or email library@hollandcollege.com
