All About ERIC
How Can You Get Copies of ERIC Documents and Journal Articles?
ERIC Documents
Approximately 92 percent of the abstracted documents (those with "ED" numbers) are available in
paper copy or microfiche from the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS). You may order ERIC
documents by toll-free phone (1-800-443-ERIC), fax, e-mail, mail, or electronically through the EDRS Web
site at http://www.edrs.com. About 80 percent of ERIC documents from 1993
to the present are available by electronic delivery through the EDRS Web site. Libraries and research institutions
can offer their patrons access to full-text copies of ERIC documents online through E*Subscribe, EDRS's
electronic document subscription service. Check your favorite library for this service.
(See "Online ERIC Document Delivery and Subscription Service" under the section entitled
ERIC on the Internet
for more information on electronic document delivery.)
You can read ERIC documents on microfiche for free at many libraries. Many of these libraries have microfiche printers so
you can copy pages from the documents. To find a library that has ERIC microfiche, call any
ERIC component for a referral
from the Directory of ERIC Resource Collections or search the
Directory online at http://oeri4.ed.gov/BASISDB/EROD/eric/SF.
ERIC Journal Articles
ERIC records with an "EJ" followed by six digits are annotations of journal articles. The actual articles can be found in
library periodical collections, through interlibrary loan, or from the article reprint companies listed below.

To obtain articles from journals that do not permit reprints and are not available from your library, write directly to the
publisher of the journal. You can find addresses of journal publishers in the
Source Journal Database on the ERIC Facility
Web site at http://www.ericfacility.net/extra/pub/sjisearch.cfm or in many libraries in the front of
each issue of Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE). You can also call any
ERIC component for this information.
