> The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), a nationwide
> education information network sponsored by the U.S. Department of
> Education's National Library of Education, turns 30 years old in Fall
> 1996. As part of the year-long anniversary commemoration during the
> 1996-97 school year, we are starting an ERIC Internet Hunt, inspired
> by Rick Gates' Internet hunts now of Internet folklore.
>
> On the first working day of each month during the 1996-97 school year,
> we will pose a set of questions whose answers lie somewhere on ERIC's
> section of cyberspace. Use whatever means are at your disposal to find
> the correct answers, tell us how you got each answer, and explore
> parts of ERIC and the Internet you don't know.
>
> On the last working day of each month during the 1996-97 school year,
> we'll draw for a winner from all correct entries. Each winner will
> receive a ceramic 30th anniversary mug from the ERIC Document
> Reproduction Service and a choice of one of four education directories
> published by ACCESS
> ERIC. Winning entries must give the correct answers as well as explain
> where and how they were found on the ERIC section of cyberspace.
>
> The answers must be posted in the answer form available at
> <http://www.aspensys.com/eric/hunt>
>
> Start your hunt from the ERIC Systemwide Web Site at

> 1. In what year did the ERIC system get its start? (we will start out
