FW: question about journal title: European educational researcher Kemp, Rebecca 24 May 2007 13:56 UTC
FYI, to anyone who is looking for citations from the title European educational researcher (OCLC# 51004090). Per Roger Osborn-King at Symposium Journals, it is no longer available online (there are broken links in the OCLC record and Ulrich's.) --Rebecca Rebecca Kemp Serials Supervisor Librarian W.M.

Its URL was listed as http://www.eera.ac.uk/publications/eer/. This URL no longer works, and I cannot find any web presence for this journal. Is this journal still available somewhere on the web? We have a patron who would like an article from it, and we are at a loss as to how to find it. I understand that the title of this journal changed to European Educational Research Journal, but there are no backfiles for this journal online from before 2002. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hello Rebecca 'European Educational Researcher' was once published irregularly by the European Educational Research Association (EERA), when it was more of a newsletter with occasional articles than anything resembling a journal. It had already effectively ceased when in 2002 we started EERA's official online-only journal, the EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH JOURNAL (www.wwwords.co.uk/EERJ), as from Volume 1 Number 1. It was never clear to me why 'European Educational Researcher' existed, or who read it, or even how anyone got hold of it. It's not as if it was a normal society publication sent to members, and perhaps also sold commercially, since neither really happened. EERA has only 17 members - being the national educational research societies of the major European countries; its annual conference draws about 1500 attendees and it is those - plus library subscribers - who get access to the new journal. Anyway, to answer your question: to the best of my knowledge, all physical copies (the URL you mention will almost certainly have provided information not content) vanished some long while ago. Perhaps the authors could help you?
