How to Find ERIC Documents

To find an ERIC document cited in the ERIC database, identify the ERIC number, an eight digit number beginning with either EJ or ED, and then consult the appropriate section below:

EJ

If the ERIC number begins with an EJ, the document is a journal article. Conduct a title search in the online catalog for the journal title. 

   ERIC# EJ557654
Title: Preservice Middle Level Teachers' Orientation Toward Teaching: Case Studies in Professional Development
Authors: Smith, Robin Loflin; Strahan, David
Source: Teacher Education Quarterly (v24 n4 p33-50 Fall 1997)
Pub Date: 97

ED part 1

If the ERIC number begins with an ED and is higher than ED297085, the document is in the ERIC microfiche filing cabinet in Microforms (Bostock 1), microforms call number S6661.

   ERIC# ED416229
Title: Interagency Collaboration: Preconditions, Progress and Pressures
Author: Bradshaw, Lynn K
Pub Date: 97
Pub Type: 142 REPORTS--Evaluative/Feasibility; 150

ED part 2

If an ED document appears to have been published by the U.S. government, it may be on microfilm in Public Documents & Maps (Bostock 3), which maintains ERIC microfiche from 1981 (with some gaps). Look in the microfiche cabinets under the call number ED1.310/2. The rest of the call number corresponds to the ED number. Ex: ED.1310/2:135931.

ED part 3

If an ED citation states "not available from EDRS", you can: 1) Search the online catalog using the document title or author's last name. 2) If the document is not held at Duke, fill out an interlibrary loan request. 3) Contact the original source, whose address is usually given.		   ERIC# ED414232
