The ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) database is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to provide extensive access to educational-related literature. The ERIC database corresponds to two printed journals: Resources in Education (RIE) and Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE). Start year 1966.
ERIC is affected by US federal government cuts. The latest news is that the database will continue, but with a reduced budget, which also means that the number of indexed sources will be reduced.
