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

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.
  • In addition to materials provided by the ERIC database, ProQuest links citations to those articles that are full text in its database ProQuest Education Journals. Links to these journals are identified as Full Text or Page Image PDF, while those provided by ERIC itself are identified as ERIC Full Text.
