The U.S. Department of Education sponsors the ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) database to provide access to education-related journals, conferences, government documents, theses, dissertations, reports, and much more!
Access
ERIC can be accessed through the Department of Education website or the PC Library database, ERIC, purchased from EBSCO. You're much more likely to find the full-text of the ERIC journal articles using the PC Library database!
ERIC #s
Each ERIC record is assigned a unique accession number in the collection. These are also known as the ERIC Document Number (ED Number) and ERIC Journal Number (EJ Number).
- EJ Numbers – Refer to articles published in education journals
- ED Numbers – Refer to education documents such as teaching guides, research reports, bibliographies, issue papers, instructional materials, and test and evaluation instruments.
Unfortunately, the PC Library doesn't have many of the ERIC documents. We can try locating them for you through our Interlibrary Loan service.
