This study concerns information quality of the database which has been produced in the ASKERIC database. The measures used in this study were accuracy of the records. consistency, completeness and currency. Accuracy was measurred in terms of the keywords used in different ways in the US and Britain and the spelling errors in the records. Consistency was measured in terms of 'see also' and 'see reference' mechanism and character capitalization. Completeness was measured as follows： completeness of the search fields in the record and relevance of search fields. Currency was measured using the publication date. The experimental result showed that ERIC databases had some errors in terms of accuracy. consistency. completeness and currency. However, continuous striving for the automatic error checking functions and the policy of feedback from users have contributed to the improvement of the quality in ERIC databases.
