How to Locate ERIC "ED"
Documents in Davis Library
The ERIC Database indexes two kinds of
publications. An "EJ" is an "educational
journal" or educational related periodical like
Phi Delta Kappan or Educational
Leadership.
An "ED", or "educational document", is
anything else but an article from a periodical.
ED's can be unpublished reports, speeches,
guides, studies, etc.
In the title list in ERIC: "EJ" citations
will have a periodical title in italics with
dates and volume numbers; "ED" citations will
not.
ERIC ED Documents
Now Online & Free!
The ERIC (Educational Resources Information
Center) Organization has been going through some
changes recently and one of the nice aspects of
this reorganization is that ERIC is now offering
all their ED Documents (reports, speeches,
guides, studies, etc.) from 1993 to the present
free and online at their Homepage:
www.eric.ed.gov. We at Davis Library will
maintain our collection of ED Documents on
microfiche from 1984 to 2003. Davis Library has
all of the ED documents on microfiche starting
with ED 247 370 arranged by ED number. ED's are
great sources for research and information.
Education Faculty like ED's and Davis Library
has a lot of them on microfiche which is easy to
use!
For those online documents, see the whole
article by clicking on the "Find A Copy" link in
the ERIC Database (http://rave.ohiolink.edu/databases/login/eric)
. For older documents, the “Find A Copy”
function will remind the user of what Davis
Library has on microfilm.
