You can set your limits at the beginning of the search, on the Advanced Search screen, or you can apply the limiters to your Search Results.
On the Advanced Search screen, scroll down to Search Options and select the limiters you want to use.
Type your search terms into the search boxes.
Click Search.
Do your search.
Under the search bar, select the limiters you are interested in
To see more limiters, select "All filters". The other filters will show on the right of the screen.
ERIC records will have an ERIC Number or Accession Number. These numbers indicate wether the record is from an academic journal (EJ) or another type of publication (ED) such as papers, dissertations, guides, books, etc.
In eric.ed.gov, the search results include an ERIC Number.
In ERIC(at EBSCOHost) this number is called an Accession Number.
The EBSCOhost databases have several features to help manage your research results.
