ED numbers (ERIC Document Numbers) are assigned to any record in ERIC that is NOT a journal article. This includes any position paper, presentation paper, reports generated by schools, dissertations and books. Whenever possible the library at CSULB has purchased most Eric Documents either on microfiche or online via EDRS (ERIC Documents). If you see a record with an ED# and it indicates it is available from EDRS WRITE IT DOWN. The only exception are ED records that are Books- these will not be found on microfiche or electronically. You must search the library catalog by author or title to find books. EJ numbers are assigned to all records that are journal articles. The EJ number is just an accession number and will in NO way help you get your hands on the article. Instead of writing the EJ number make sure you write down the full citation (author, title, title of the journal, volume, issue, page numbers and year) and click on the link that says Click to locate item .
