    Ways to Search

    The Education Resources Information Center (http://www.eric.ed.gov) provides the public with a centralized ERIC Web site for searching the ERIC bibliographic database of more than 1.1 million citations going back to 1966. More than 107,000 full-text non-journal ERIC documents (issued 1993-2004) are now available for free.

    Basic Search

    Construct a simple Boolean search using AND, OR, or NOT in a single entry box. If multiple words are entered without a Boolean operator, the default is AND. e.g. male female searches for male AND female.

    Use quotation marks around a phrase to find an exact match. e.g. "elementary education" narrows a search to only those records containing the phrase elementary education.

    Advanced Search

    The pull down window through the advanced search screen gives you options to search by document title/author/ERIC #, etc.

    The connectors (AND/OR/NOT) are provided through the pull down window to make it convenient for multiple entries.

    You can limit your search further by choosing full-text only/publication range/type.
