    The Educational Resources Information Clearinghouse (ERIC)database is an index covering approximately one million articles and documents on education.

    There are two parts to the ERIC index: Educational Journals (EJ), which covers articles published in academic journals and Educational Documents (ED), which catalogs unpublished materials, such as conference proceedings, curriculum guides, and lesson plans. Most ED documents are available either through the ERIC website in pdf format or through interlibrary loan (for UH System students).

    The ERIC Thesaurus is a list of subject descriptors used to index all ERIC citations. Using descriptor terms to search the ERIC database will enhance the precision and speed of your searches.
