This worksheet is a supplement to "ERIC Basics: How To Use ERIC To Search Your Special Education Topic." It provides an example of how a special education question can be converted to a strategy for searching the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) database. The worksheet suggests that the ERIC user write the topic in his or her own words, divide the topic into two or three basic concepts, use the "Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors" to locate the subject terms that best represent the concepts, and combine the descriptors using ANDs and ORs. A list of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the 16 ERIC clearinghouses is included, with a note that each clearinghouse has responsibility for providing information services within its subject area and can assist in development of search strategies. The ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education is listed as the clearinghouse with primary responsibility for special education information. (JDD)
