The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is funded by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement. This database provides access to a nationwide information network that acquires, catalogs, and summarizes educational information from a variety of sources. The two components of ERIC are: Resources in Education (RIE) which contains 850,000 documents including conference papers, reports, and instructional materials; and Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE) which abstracts over 700 educational journals.
