Mission Statement
The mission of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology
(ERIC/IT) is to acquire, select, catalog, index, and abstract documents
and journal articles in library and information science and educational
technology scope areas for input into the ERIC database. ERIC/IT
also provides reference and retrieval services, develops information analysis
products, conducts workshops and makes presentations, and generates links
within the educational community.
Each year, ERIC/IT publishes monographs, digests, and minibibliographies
in the fields of educational technology and library and information science.
Our semi-annual newsletter, ERIC/ITNetworkers, provides helpful information
for using ERIC-related resources on the Internet.
Organizational Background/Description
ERIC/IT is one of 16 clearinghouses in the Educational Resources Information
Center (ERIC) system. Central ERIC is located within the Office of
Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education,
