[Eril-l] Impact on DOE cuts on ERIC database

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hello,

A colleague just shared the below document from Michigan State with me:

Journals No Longer Being Indexed by ERIC
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H5qSJQE2N-wh6FxnWxBHE9r5Oq9mW-kI5Q_LDf4pKs4/edit?tab=t.0>

It states: "The Department of Education is working with the Department of
Government Efficiency to “reduce overall Federal spending” and “reallocate
spending to promote efficiency” (EO 14222). As a result, ERIC will be
significantly reducing the number of records we index going forward. We
expect to be reducing the collection by approximately 45% starting April
24, 2025."

I haven't seen any official news about this but wanted to pass the info
along.

Katherine
