Education Resources

ERIC
ERIC: Educational Resources Information
Center -- ERIC is the premier U.S. national bibliographic database
of education literature. It has more than a million citations going
back to 1966 and consists of two files: Resources in Education (RIE),
covering document literature, and Current Index to Journals in Education
(CIJE), covering published journal literature from over 775 periodicals.
Several search engines are available for searching ERIC (these are listed
below). The information is the same, but the search screens, options,
and displays differ.

More Information about ERIC:
- Journals
Indexed in ERIC
- ERIC Educational Documents (ED) -- ERIC
provides full-text access to many of the non-journal ERIC Educational
Documents (ED).
- Newer documents (ca. 1993-present): find full-text EDs
online in the ERIC databases. In an item's record look for a link
or PDF icon that says something like "Full Text from ERIC"
or "From ERIC." You may have to scroll down if you're
looking at the record's full view. (In EbscoHost ERIC, this is
NOT the same link as "FullText?" or "Link to Full
Text." Those are links to full-text articles in other databases.)
- Older documents (ca. 1960s-2004) are on microfiche.
These are located in the Babbidge Library microfiche collection
on Level B--the basement--next to Government Documents. They are
filed under ERIC and ED321 538. Note: as of about 2004, microfiche
will no longer be produced; find the full-text documents online
in ERIC instead.
- ERIC Development
News -- News and political concerns
- Educator's Reference Desk
(formerly AskERIC, National Library of Education, Syracuse). Formerly
offered free web access to the ERIC database; still has links to several
other useful resources.
- Gateway to Educational Material
(GEM) -- Links to thousands of educational resources found on
various federal, state, university, non-profit, and commercial Internet
sites.
Other Education Databases
- Education:
A SAGE Full Text Collection -- Includes the full text of 19 journals
