The Library offers two versions of the ERIC Database.
The Federal Government version of ERIC is free and accessible to all. While at Quinnipiac our journals will be linked from the references either directly from ERIC or pasting the title of the article into Library OneSearch. This version does not work with RefWorks, our citation management program.

ERIC is a comprehensive database of education research and information. Includes indexing of ERIC documents and over 600 education journals
A comprehensive database of education research and information. Includes indexing of ERIC documents and over 600 education journals.
This is the primary resource for the field of education. It provides citations and abstracts of journal articles and the full-text of many documents addressing education research and practice. All types and levels of education are included dating back to 1966. ERIC is a free Internet database available from the U.S. Department of Education.
A search can be limited to journal articles only and a particular span of years. Pay close attention to the year of publication since the most recent references do not necessarily appear first; the listing is by relevance. Also, note the Descriptors which are located below the abstract for additional keywords.
Please note that the Bernhard Library does not own all of the journals within the ERIC database so you will need to use the Direct Link option provided by ERIC or copy and paste the article title into Library OneSearch (note last bullet point) to determine availability. If the journal is not owned by Quinnipiac, submit an Interlibrary Loan request.
