ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to provide extensive access to educational-related literature. ERIC provides coverage of journal articles, conferences, government documents, reports, bibliographies, directories, books and monographs.

Each ERIC record is assigned a unique accession number in the collection. These are also known as the ERIC Document Number (ED Number) and ERIC Journal Number (EJ Number).

EJ Numbers – Refer to articles published in education journals

ED Numbers – Refer to education documents such as teaching guides, research reports, bibliographies, issue papers, instructional materials, and test and evaluation instruments.

ED Numbers are classified as levels 1-3.

·Level 1 - Reproducible in paper and microfiche and since 1993 in electronic format; materials issued from January 1993 - July 2004 are available at no cost through http://www.eric.ed.gov

·Level 2 - Reproducible in microfiche; full-text is no longer available through ERIC, but records remain part of the database. Available through Hekman Library.

·Level 3 - Not reproducible; records remain part of the database

Note: we do have a collection of ERIC documents (ED) in microfiche at Hekman Library from 1966-2004 (ED010000-ED483046).
