Click the icon or the link to view or download the full text. To include only articles or reports with full text available in ERIC, check the“Full text available on ERIC" filter when you search. </p> </div> <div class="toggleBlock"> <h3>If full text is not available through ERIC, how can I access the article?</h3> <p>To find the full text of these articles, try the Direct Link on the record to the publisher’s website, available in many ERIC records since 2004, or contact your local or university library. The library may be able to help you get access through interlibrary loan or through one of their databases. For a description of the full-text materials in ERIC and tips for finding full text when a PDF is not available, access our video:</p> <iframe width="444" height="250" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hcJFShZqGPQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media"></iframe> <iframe width="444" height="250" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IpUrhOG2ylc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media"></iframe> </div> <div class="toggleBlock"> <h3>Will the “Direct Link” in the ERIC record take me to the full text?</h3> <p>The Direct Link option will take an ERIC user to the website of the content’s publisher, where they can find out how to access the full text. In some cases, there may be a free, full-text option. In other cases obtaining the full text may require registration or a subscription. </p> </div> <div class="toggleBlock"> <h3>I clicked on the “Direct Link” and got an error message—what do I do now?</h3> <p>This means that the link that the publisher gave to ERIC at the time of publication broke. This often happens when publishers redesign their older websites. Please let us know by emailing <a href="mailto:ERICRequests@ed.gov">ERICRequests@ed.gov</a>.</p> </div> <div class="toggleBlock"> <h3>The article I want says “PDF pending restoration.” What does that mean?</h3> <p>The phrase “PDF pending restoration” means that the document is unavailable. The document was originally scanned from microfiche . The resulting copy is barely legible, and we have made efforts to re-scan these microfiche documents and restore them to an acceptable level of readability. The document can still be found on microfiche and obtained through interlibrary loan from a library maintaining the ERIC collection. For background on our efforts to restore unreadable materials to the collection, see slides from the webinar <img src="img/pdficon_large.png" alt="PDF on ERIC" /><a href="/pdf/ERIC_PDF_Restoration_Webinar.pdf">Restoring Access to ERIC’s PDFs</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="divFooter"><div id="ftrPadding"><div id="ftr"><div id="ftrSocial"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SearchEduResources" id="facebook" style="padding-bottom:5px"><img src="img/icon_facebook.gif" alt="Facebook" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ERICinfo" id="twitter"><img src="img/icon_twitter.gif" alt="Twitter" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a></div><div id="ftrLogos"><a href="http://www.ed.gov"><img src="img/logo_ed.gif" alt="Department of Education"></a><a href="http://ies.ed.gov"><img src="img/logo_ies.gif" alt="Institute of Education Statistics"></a></div><div id="centerLinks"><a href="?privacy">Privacy</a> | <a href="?copyright">Copyright</a> | <a href="?contact">Contact Us</a> | <a href="?selection">Selection Policy</a> | <a href="?api">API</a> | <a href="metrics">Metrics</a><div><a href="?journals">Journals</a> | <a href="?nonjournals">Non-Journals</a> | <a href="?download">Download</a> | <a href="submit">Submit</a> | <a href="?multimedia">Multimedia</a> | <a href="?widget">Widget</a></div></div></div><script id="_fed_an_ua_tag" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/js/Universal-Federated-Analytics-Min.js?pga4=55622235&agency=ED&subagency=ERIC"></script></div></div> </div> <script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[ if(self!=top) {top.location=self.location;} //]]></script> </body> </html>
