How to order documents

ERIC references with an ED number are from ERIC's Resources in Education database and are typically research papers and other monographs. Almost all of these documents are available on microfiche at the ERIC Resource Collections located in over 1000 academic libraries and centers worldwide. You can also order these documents from the ERIC Document Reproduction Service (EDRS).

You can order "ED" documents -- as microfiche, print, fax, or electronic copy --either by phone (800 443-3742; 703 440-1400) or on line, through EDRS (http://edrs.com) or The Search ERIC Wizard. Fax order and other delivery service are available. Cost: $4.08 for 25 pages (Since Jan. 1, 1997).

"ED" documents are also available on microfiche from more than 1000 locations worldwide. To find the location nearest you, call ACCESS ERIC at 1-800-LET-ERIC, or look it up on line.

ERIC references to journal articles not in your local library can be ordered though interlibrary loan, or CARL (http://www.carl.org/).

The ERIC System website has a FAQ with more information about the ERIC database.

Other ERIC databases

• ERIC Digests (2,000 word briefing papers, full text)

Via Web

• Via ERIC/AE using Webinator
  Enter terms:
  Proximity: page rank 1 word line sentence paragraph Word Forms: Exact Some Most
  You can use either sets (preferred) or boolean logic (or, and ) to construct your query. With sets, put parentheses around each set and commas between terms. Space is an implied AND. For example, ("self concept","self esteem") college will find references to ("self concept" OR "self esteem") AND college. Phrases must be in quotes (e.g. "self concept") or you can put a hyphen between the terms within a phrase (e.g. self-concept). We encourage you to use the Wizard (http://ericae.net/scripts/ewiz) to formulate your search. You can limit the search to Digests.
