This site is managed through the University of Syracuse. The Web Database only goes back to 1989 and does not display all the fields contained in an ERIC record. It is very easy to use, and it provides a way to search for documents away from the library, through any Web browser. It is also updated a little more frequently. Interpreting ERIC Fields Purchased databases and public databases may use slightly different abbreviations for each field, but the following list should be helpful no matter what database you have selected.
