Definition
=The Education Resources Information Center ([|ERIC]), sponsored by the [|Institute of Education Sciences] (IES) of the [|U.S. Department of Education], produces a large international [|database] of [|journal] and non-journal education [|literature]. The ERIC online system provides the public with a centralized ERIC Web site for searching the ERIC bibliographic database as well as for submitting materials so they can be considered for inclusion in the database. ERIC provides access to bibliographic records of journal and non-journal literature indexed from [|1966] to the present. ERIC also contains a growing collection of full-text materials in Adobe PDF format including the legacy ERIC Digests.= The ERIC collection includes bibliographic records ([|citations], [|abstracts], and other pertinent data) for more than 1.2 million items indexed since 1966, including:
 * journal articles
 * [|books]
 * research syntheses
 * conference papers
 * technical reports
