The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is a national information system sponsored by the Department of Education. Traditionally, access to ERIC materials has been through the printed indexes "Resources in Education" (RIE), a guide to documents and research reports, and "Current Index to Journals in Education" (CIJE), an index to over 700 journals related to education. The two ERIC indexes are now accessible through stand alone ERIC-on-CD-ROM Retrieval Systems. (CD-ROM=Compact Disc--Read Only Memory). Searching ERIC via these systems allows the researcher to create a "custom-made" bibliography that can be designed and printed on the spot. This guide includes step-by-step procedures for formulating a search, examining the results, and printing a bibliography. Figures included for each step show the appearance of the monitor display. Examples of searches are included. (Editor's Note: This brochure does not concern itself with the online computer search capability that preceded the CD-ROM Systems). (GL)
