Contact: The Children's Literature Comprehensive Database Company, LLC (CLCD) is pleased to announce the most recent addition to its family of databases. Debuting at ALA in San Francisco, the CL Instructional Materials Database (CLIMD) contains reviews of research, journal articles, technical reports, projects, books, studies, classroom materials and electronic learning resources. These reviews have been compiled from three major clearinghousesūthe ERIC Clearinghouses, the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse, and the California Instructional Technology Clearinghouse. These clearinghouses provide coverage of nearly 25,000 curriculum resource items as well as coverage of 1,000 education related journals and documents produced by more than 2,000 educational organizations. For the first time educators and those interested in educational research and products will be able to search all of these clearinghouses with a single request. Not only will CLIMD pull together these disparate materials (more than one million records), it will allow users to limit searches to one or more clearinghouses, and even to specific ERIC clearinghouses. Furthermore, subscribers will be able to limit searches by subject, age, grade level, language and format (Audio, CD-ROM, Databases, Internet Resources, Print Material, and Videotapes). Teachers in all disciplines and all educators will find a wealth of information in this new database. Best of all, it uses the same powerful and easy to use search software as the Children's Literature Comprehensive Database. The subscription rate is $249.95 for unlimited searching for one full year. Discounts are available for site licensing. To try out the test version of this service, visit www.childrenslit.com. Details for entering trial subscriptions are available on-line. The full database will be available September 1, 2001. ###
