ERIC - The Main Database for Education

Looking for Articles/Research in education START HERE:

On January 7th EBSCO rolled out a complete redesign of their database interface.  So, things in ERIC (and all other EBSCO databases) will look completely different and tools like the thesaurus will be accessed in different ways.  Please email, call, or visit with a librarian for help in navigating these changes.

ERIC is the main database to use when you want to find articles, journals or documents in education.  We have access to three versions of ERIC.  All provide access to the same data only their interfaces are different.   ERIC through EBSCO and ProQuest are by subscription,  ERIC Home Page links to the freely available version of ERIC at eric.ed.gov.  For more information on ERIC and help with searching and citing  ERIC Documents see the information tab.
