ERIC and Its Role in TESOL
A. Hood Roberts · TESOL Quarterly · 1968
ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) is a nation-wide information service, funded and monitored by the U.S. Office of Education. It had its origin some two years ago when the Bureau of Research of the Office of Education, acutely aware of the lack of an effective information system in the field of education, decided to do something about it. The field of education was divided into subfields, and requests for proposals went out to a number of institutions known to be interested in these areas of concern.
