Database of the Week:
ERIC (Education Resources Information Center)
Ebsco’s user-friendly interface provides access to ERIC, the Education Resources Information Center. ERIC is a digital library of education research printed in journals, conference proceedings, dissertations and other sources that is maintained by the U.S. Department of Education. It has over 1 million indexed records and links to more than 323,000 full-text articles. Accessing ERIC through our e-library lets you take advantage of the database’s thesaurus-powered search capabilities to find relevant materials while providing visual and customized search features unavailable elsewhere. Results can be refined to specify the intended audience, such as administrators, counselors, or parents as well as the education level, date, or publication type, including ERIC digests.
