ERIC is the largest education database in the world, containing more than 700,000 records from 1966 onwards, updated monthly.
Coverage includes research documents and technical reports as well as journal articles.
Most records contain an abstract, and all records are indexed using the specialised ERIC thesaurus. It provides bibliographic references to 350 British and selected European English-language periodicals plus developing coverage of national report and conference literature. The database covers 1986 to the present and is updated quarterly. Results may be printed, downloaded or emailed.
