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
