ERIC and Government Shutdown

ERIC, the Education Resource Information Center, is typically available through the government website (http://eric.ed.gov/). Because of the government shutdown, access to the full text of articles and other materials will not be available from the government site but researchers still have access to the research platform.
 
ERIC provides access to educational literature and resources including access to information from journals included in the Current Index of Journals in Education and Resources in Education Index. It was designed as a national information system to provide access to education literature and resources. According to its website, “ERIC is the world's largest and most frequently used education digital library.” ERIC provides more than 1.4 million bibliographic records and dates back to 1966.
