ERIC - Dataware Tutorial* will help you do an actual real-time ERIC search and is designed to familiarize you with the Dataware Web Interface. It is recommended that you use the tutorial, before you preform your own search. The Dataware Web Interface is using the database from OhioLINK. You can end the tutorial at any time by changing your World Wide Web location or exiting your web browser.

This tutorial shows you the search process involved in obtaining citations about journal articles (CIJE); however, it can also be used to search for ERIC documents (RIE).

* Access to the full ERIC tutorial is only available to OhioLINK member Libraries, however those without access can use the outline demonstrating the step by step use of ERIC.
