ACRL Statement of Support for the ERIC Database
The ACRL Board of Directors affirms its strong support for the ERIC (Education Resources
Information Center) database, a vital resource sponsored by the Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) of the US Department of Education. ERIC serves as an essential tool
for education librarians at colleges and universities across the United States. It enables
librarians to assist students, faculty, and researchers in locating high-quality, authoritative
information for coursework, research, and professional practice. As the premier index for
scholarly literature in the field of education, ERIC provides unparalleled access to peerreviewed
journal articles, conference papers, reports, and other critical resources. Read the
