ERIC Document Resources  

Overview

The Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC) provides an index to educational literature from 1966 to the present. This index locates two types of resources: ERIC Documents (EDs) and ERIC Journal Articles (EJs). Current students, staff, and faculty of OhioLINK universities can access the complete ERIC Database on or off campus through the Research Databases. The general public may locate a limited number of resources through the ERIC Home Page.


Locating ERIC Documents (EDs)

The ERIC number at the top of a record that begins with ED followed by six digits is an ERIC Document (ED). ERIC Documents can be books, research reports, speeches, studies, conference papers, curriculum, and teaching guides.

When using the OhioLINK ERIC Database click on "Find a Copy" to locate the document.
  • Electronic full text is available for all documents published from 2004 on as well as many since 1993.
  • Documents may also be found in Microforms on the Third Floor using the ED number.
  • Books produced by commercial publishers may also be located in Maag Library by searching MaagNet.
  • If it is not owned by Maag Library then try finding it through an OhioLINK Library.
  • If it is not available through an OhioLINK Library then try Interlibrary Loan.

Locating ERIC Journals (EJs)

At the top of the ERIC record a number that begins with EJ followed by six digits indicates that this article is from a journal.

    When using the OhioLINK ERIC Database click on "Find a Copy" to locate the journal article.
  • Electronic full text may be available by clicking on the "Full Text" link.
  • If it is not available through “Find a Copy” try using E-Journal Finder to find the journal title and then the specific article.
  • If it is not available through E-Journal Finder try searching MaagNet for the journal title and then the specific volume for the article.
  • If the journal article is not available through Maag Library then try requesting it through Interlibrary Loan.
