ERIC
The largest database of educational literature in the world, ERIC contains over 1 million abstracts of articles pertaining to the field of education. Resources are divided into two groups: Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE), which indexes articles in journals; and Resources in Education (RIE), which indexes
non-journal material available on microfiche. The PJC LRC may have some of the journals, but will have none of the articles on microfiche. Journal articles not available in the LRC collection may be
requested through Interlibrary Loan. Microfiche documents are available at the University of West Florida’s John C. Pace Library.
To better use the ERIC search features use the Advanced Search. You may search several fields at once (keyword, author, title, etc.) You may also select the year(s) and document type (RIE or CIJE). Do not limit availability to PJC or to full text, since your results will be sharply reduced. If you choose a CIJE article that is not available at PJC, click on Borrow this item from another library for Interlibrary Loan services. RIE documents are available at UWF.
