In: Knowledge: creation, diffusion, utilization, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 37-50
The federally sponsored Educational Resources Information Center, or ERIC, has for over 20 years been the major repository for research- and practice-oriented information about education. Millions of scholars, teachers, and others have used the materials in this database, although few of them may have been aware of the various aspects of the entire ERIC system. This paper summarizes the development of the system, examines some of the changes currently being made in it, and speculates briefly about its future.
