   What is ERIC?
   
   The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a national
   educational information network sponsored by the U.S. Department of
   Education (http://www.ed.gov/), Office of Education Research and
   Improvement. Part of the National Library of Education
   (http://www.ed.gov/NLE/), ERIC was designed to make education-related
   literature accessible to all.
   
   The ERIC system consists of 16 subject-specific Clearinghouses,
   several adjunct Clearinghouses, and support components
   http://www.aspensys.com/eric/sites/barak.html. Each Clearinghouse
   identifies, acquires, selects, and processes documents and journal
   literature to be added to the ERIC database, the largest, most
   comprehensive education database in the world. In addition,
   Clearinghouses produce major publications and a variety of user
   products. Major publications are monographs on a variety of subjects
   related to the Clearinghouses' scope areas. User products include ERIC
   Digests, two-page discussions of a topic based on the literature in
   the database; bibliographies; newsletters; and other types of
   publications
