What is ERIC?
ERIC, the Education Resources Information Center, is an internet-based digital library of education research and information sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. ERIC provides access to over a million bibliographic records of journal and non-journal (conference papers, educational agency reports, technical reports, etc.) literature indexed from 1966 to the present. ERIC also contains a growing collection of full-text materials in Adobe PDF format, including reports related to human resource education.
ERIC is available through a number of different Web sources and database providers, including the free government version at http://www.eric.ed.gov/ We recommend that you choose the version available through OVID, but if you choose another version, always select the Advanced Search feature.
