Information and Help for the ERIC database (via EBSCOhost)
Database name: ERIC

Description: A database, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, containing more than a million bibliographic records of journal articles and other education-related materials. These resources are divided into two groups, articles and documents. The first, journal articles, are identified by the abbreviation EJ preceding the numerals. The second, documents (reports, studies, etc.) are identified by the letters ED preceding the numerals. While all of the ED materials are full text in the database, not all of the EJ resources are.

Tips/hints/features:

  • The Library subscribes to two versions of ERIC, one through an interface (search system) named ProQuest and one through an interface named EBSCOhost. There are no major differences between the two, so feel free to use either one.
  • ERIC, accessed via EBSCOhost, links citations of journal articles to those articles that are full text in other databases TROY subscribes to from the Ebsco company.
