Federal Government Documents TutorialSpecialized IndexesThere are several areas of specialized information resources located within the federal government that are not well-covered by the Monthly Catalog's indexing. If these areas are of interest to you, consult the resources noted here.

The ERIC database consists of two files: the Resources in Education (RIE) file of document (ED) citations and the Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE) file of journal article (EJ) citations from over 750 professional journals. The database contains more than 1 million abstracts (and some full text) of education- related documents and journal articles, with coverage back to 1966. NTIS = Government Reports The National Technical Information Service issued Government Reports Announcements in paper through 1995. This bibliography indexes technical report literature produced for the federal government by private contractors.
