Educational researchers cannot do without the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) when surveying educational trends, reviewing academic issues, and writing research reports. Many complete articles on a vast range of topics are available free of charge; others are annotated and available at a cost. ERIC, which is sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education, bills itself as follows:
(ERIC) produces the world’s premier database of journal and non-journal education literature. The new ERIC online system, released September 2004, provides the public with a centralized ERIC Web site for searching the ERIC bibliographic database of more than 1.1 million citations going back to 1966. Effective October 1, more than 107,000 full-text non-journal documents (issued 1993-2004), previously available through fee-based services only, will be available for free.
ERIC's website is definitely worth bookmarking. Here is the link: www.eric.ed.gov
