Three flavors of ERIC
- ERIC [EBSCO]The world's largest database of education research. Includes bibliographic entries, full-text articles, and a thesaurus of education-related terminology that is used to tag entries in the database.
- ERIC [U.S. Department of Education]The world's largest database of education research. Includes bibliographic entries, full-text articles, and a thesaurus of education-related terminology that is used to tag entries in the database.
- ERIC (Proquest)The Proquest version tends to be good at giving relevant results, but has less direct access to the full text of articles than Ebsco.
ERIC is the best education database for most education research topics. As a Western student, there are a few ways to access ERIC. Each one has slightly different features, but indexes the same sources.
