Introduction to ERIC and Education Source (3:47)
Advanced Searching in ERIC (4:12)
ALT Text: A search with quotations around a phrase like "higher education" will include results with those two words beside each other. A search with OR between two words like principal OR administrator will include results with either term. In Google Scholar, exclude a word from a search with a hyphen before the word. For example, neurdivergent -ADHD will include results about neurodiversity but not ADHD. You can also specify that your search words are in the title or author of results by placing intitle: or author: at the front of your search. In ERIC and Education Source (EBSCO), exclude a word from a search by putting NOT before the word. Also, ending a word with an asterisk will include results with different endings of the word. For example, a search for academ* will include results like academic, academy, academies, etc.
