Improvements to Enhance Your Research January 18, 2017  \nSpeaker Notes and Q&A  \nPresentation  \nSlide 1  \nAll right, everyone. We are going to begin. I am Erin Pollard. I am the Project Officer for ERIC in the U.S. Department of Education, and I would like to welcome you to our webinar. Today we are going to take you on a guided tour of recent improvements that we've made to ERIC. We believe the changes that you see will enhance your research experience. Whether you are a researcher, professor, graduate or undergraduate student, academic librarian or other education stakeholder, we think these will be valuable to you.  \nBefore we get started, just a couple housekeeping items. First, we muted everyone to reduce the noise during our presentation. So if you have a question, please enter it in the chat box on the side of your screen. We will work the answer into our presentation or address it at the end in our Q&A session.  \nAlso, we are recording this webinar, and it will be available for viewing on the ERIC YouTube channel in a few weeks. You will be getting an email to let you know when it's online.  \nWe are also closed captioning the presentation. If you want to turn off the captioning, please click the X by the Media Viewer.  \nSlide 2  \nSo today, three of us will be speaking to you. I am going to begin shortly by giving you an overview of enhancements we've made to the ERIC record. Then Sheeba Rooney from the AEM contract is going to walk you through to show you the new features, how they work, and how to use them in your work.  \nFollowing the online tour, Nancy Cawley will let you know about some new communication products weare really excited about, including recently released videos and more products and events in the works. Then we will answer any questions that you may have.  \nSlide 3  \nWe are happy to announce new ERIC improvements in four key areas. First, all of the records for IES publications and studies included in the What Works Clearinghouse now include links to the IES webpages. Here, you will find additional publication and funding information, study review guide information from the What Works Clearinghouse, and other IES resources. We are very excited about connecting ERIC users with the wealth of information on the IES website.  \nSecond, we've begun to include author-provided links to digital identifiers on third-party websites. You can find lists of other author publications and other information about the author directly from ERIC.  \nThird, we've streamlined and standardized ERIC identifiers to help you focus your searches based on locations, assessments and surveys, and laws.  \nAnd last, but not least, we've implemented our latest update to the Selection Policy related to includingthe peer-review flag on qualified grey literature records. Peer-reviewed reports and conference papers are now appearing in ERIC searches.  \nNow I'm going to turn it over to Sheeba to walk you through most of these changes on the website, starting with the identifiers.  \nSlide 4  \nI am going to start by giving you some background about ERIC identifiers. Then we will go online so you can see what they look like in ERIC records today, and find out how to use them in a search. Identifiershave long been part of ERIC, but they weren't standardized like the ERIC descriptors. Over time, the identifiers became a hodgepodge of terms with different abbreviations, spellings, formatting, which made it very challenging for users to find what they were looking for.  \nFor example, the test \"Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory\" had 15 different variants for  \nidentifiers, and you had to search literally on each term to find all records relevant to the MMPI in ERIC.  \nOur solution was to create three separate searchable fields which are useful to researchers. One, location; two, laws, policies, and programs; and three, assessments and surveys. And we standardized the terms in each category to make the identifiers a controlled vocabu","cbCairtuk4LnFq7O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairtuk4LnFq7O","pdf",171326,"English","# Overview of ERIC webinar\n## Housekeeping and recording\n## Speakers and webinar flow\n# Four key improvement areas\n## IES and What Works Clearinghouse links\n## Author-provided digital identifiers\n## Streamlined standardized ERIC identifiers\n## Updated Selection Policy for peer-reviewed grey literature\n# ERIC identifiers background and usage","[{\"question\":\"What four key areas of ERIC improvements are announced in the webinar?\",\"answer\":\"The webinar highlights: links for IES records and What Works Clearinghouse information, author-provided links to digital identifiers, standardized ERIC identifiers for better filtering, and an updated Selection Policy that includes peer-review for qualified grey literature records.\"},{\"question\":\"How do standardized ERIC identifiers help users search more effectively?\",\"answer\":\"The identifiers are standardized into controlled vocabulary categories, reducing term variants and enabling consistent search filtering so users can find relevant materials regardless of how authors originally referred to them.\"},{\"question\":\"What change to the ERIC Selection Policy affects which grey literature appears in search results?\",\"answer\":\"The latest update implements a peer-review flag for qualified grey literature records, causing peer-reviewed reports and conference papers to appear in ERIC searches.\"}]","ERIC Improvements to Enhance Your Research - Guided Tour of Recent Enhancements | PDF",1792065138]
