How to Cite the ERIC Clearinghouse in APA

There are various theories as to why Johnny (or Jenny) can't read. You'll find many of these theories on ERIC. Education Resources Center (ERIC) bills itself as "the world's largest digital library of education literature." The ERIC database includes bibliographic records, full-text documents and an alphabetical list of education-related journals from 1966 to the present. If you have your own theory as to why Johnny and Jenny can't read and you use ERIC in your research, follow APA guidelines for documenting your ERIC sources.
