ERIC: Education Resources Information Center (ERIC)

Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) is the premier resource for educational research. It was founded in 1964 and can be used for studies for teaching, policy and administration, and is accessible to the public. ERIC has evolved with research technologies, and offers many types of research materials, like reports, studies, and other materials, in print, on microfilm, and electronically. 

This guide will cover the EBSCO version of ERIC, although the principles behind ERIC function in parallel ways across the different formats.

This LibGuide provides information to help undergraduate and graduate students, especially those in education programs, develop successful searches and access the desired resources.
