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.
ERIC Search Engines:
- ERIC: Education Resources Information Center -- Free. Strong search engine. Includes newer ERIC Educational Documents (ED) in full text, free (more info about EDs).
- ERIC
(EbscoHost)
-- 1966-current. UConn's subscription. Powerful search
features (e.g., thesaurus, display control, set
searching). Includes newer ERIC Educational Documents
(ED) in full text (more info about
EDs).
- SearchERIC.org
(formerly ERIC Search Wizard). Free. Simple interface.
Has thesaurus (useful, but a bit tempermental). Includes
links ERIC Educational Documents (ED) in full text, free
(more info about EDs).
More Information about 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.
