ERIC Resources in Education - Primary Database

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 link to the Journal Locator (note last bullet point) to determine availability. If the journal is not owned by Quinnipiac, submit an Interlibrary Loan request.
