ERIC

Educational Resources Information Center

The ERIC database consists of two files: the Resources in Education (RIE) file of document citations and the Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE) file of journal article citations from over 750 professional journals. In addition, ERIC now contains over 850 ERIC Digest records that feature the full text of the original document.

ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center), is an information system sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education that generates the U.S. national bibliographic database covering the literature of education.

ERIC is a network of 16 subject-specialized clearinghouses, each responsible for collecting the literature in its own subject area. Each clearinghouse is identified by a two-letter code, listed in the Clearinghouse (CH) field in the database.

ERIC also offers a document delivery service through the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS). Availability and pricing information is included in the records in the Level of Availability (LV), EDRS Price (PR), Availability (AV), and EDRS Document Link (DL) fields.
