The ERIC Clearinghouse on Information & Technology
web site is no longer in operation.

 

The United States Department of Education continues to offer the

 

ERIC Database

at

https://www.eric.ed.gov

 

All ERIC Clearinghouses plus AskERIC will be closed permanently as of December 31, 2003.

 

In January 2004, the Department of Education will implement a reengineering plan for ERIC. The new ERIC mission continues the core function of providing a centralized bibliographic database of journal articles and other published and unpublished education materials. It enhances the database by adding free full text and electronic links to commercial sources and by making it easy to use and up to date.

 

From January 2004 until the new ERIC model for acquiring education literature is developed later in 2004, no new materials will be received and accepted for the database. However, the ERIC database will continue to grow, as thousands of documents selected by the ERIC clearinghouses throughout 2003 will be added. When the new model is ready later in 2004, the new ERIC contractor will communicate with publishers, education organizations, and other database contributors to add publications and materials released from January 2004 forward.

Submitting Documents to ERIC

The ERIC Clearinghouse on Information & Technology (ERIC/IT) actively solicits documents from researchers, practitioners, associations and agencies at national, state and local levels. A document does not have to be formally published to be entered in the ERIC database. In fact, ERIC has always been particularly interested in the unpublished or “fugitive” material not usually available through conventional library channels.

What kinds of documents are included in ERIC?

Some examples are:

  • Bibliographies
  • Books, handbooks, manuals, monographs, treatises
  • Conference papers, speeches, presentations
  • Curriculum materials, instructional materials, syllabi
  • Theses
  • Legislation and regulations
  • Opinion papers, essays, position papers
  • Program/project descriptions, annual reports
  • Research reports, technical reports
  • Resource guides
  • Standards
  • Statistical compilations
  • Studies, surveys
  • Taxonomies and classifications
  • Teaching/teacher guides
What topics does ERIC/IT cover?

ERIC/IT acquires education related materials within the scopes of Library and Information Science and Educational Technology.

  • Management, operation and use of libraries and information centers
