How do I search the ERIC database?

Recommended: View the ERIC Slide Show . The Slide Show offers a user-friendly lesson in searching the ERIC database and obtaining ERIC materials.

You can begin a search using selected fields . This will take you to a page where you can enter up to five search terms. The default is set to search by keywords, but you can pull up this menu to select "author," "title," or over a dozen other categories.

If you are still having trouble finding information on your topic, you can try the Search Wizard. This search engine will help you find ERIC descriptors for your search. ERIC descriptors are the terms used to index documents and journal articles in the ERIC database. You can also call ACCESS ERIC at 800–LET–ERIC (538–3742) for personalized assistance and a referral to an ERIC clearinghouse that can help you with your search.

See the comparative chart of ERIC-sponsored access points for information about and links to all of the available online ERIC search engines.
