In recent decades, new pressures have been placed on library management, including inflation, the proliferation of published materials, diversification in the demand for library services, and changing library staff expectations. Management approaches to these fundamental issues can be grouped into the following general categories: (1) management of human resources, (2) administrative systems and procedures, (3) research and development, and (4) organizational change. A definition is provided for each management category, possible applications are suggested, and an annotated bibliography is provided for each category. (EMH)

This survey of the literature relevant to the promotion of continuing education for library, media, and information personnel was gathered by the Continuing Library Education Network and Exchange (CLENE), whose purposes and accomplishments also are reviewed in the document. The bibliography itself contains 396 references, divided into 6 general topic areas: (1) network models, institutional roles, and issues in continuing education; (2) needs assessment; (3) resources; (4) guidelines for program planners; (5) descriptions of continuing education programs; and (6) adult education. Material from fields outside of librarianship is included under most topics. An introductory essay gives an overview of the contents of the entire body of literature and an appendix, of varying print quality, provides abstracts of all items cited in the bibliography. (KB)

The original Guide to Educational Resources was published by the Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development as part of an instructional system, "The Educational Information Consultant: Skill in Disseminating Educational Information (1971)". The resources included in this updated Guide are geared for the Educational Information Consultant (EIC). Selections are not intended to duplicate titles typically found in the educational reference section of a good public or college library, but were chosen to meet the needs of an active EIC--to lead to standard sources of information for preliminary searches and to help the EIC keep abreast of major current activities, products, sources, and innovations. The guide is divided into six sections: 1) fact finding and sources of information, 2) where it's happening, 3) keeping up with the educational information explosion, 4) research and resource services, 5) product guides, and 6) organizing information.

All 59 documents published by the Educational Resources Information Center on Educational Media and Technology (ERIC/EM) are abstracted in this document. The abstracts are the same as those which appeared in Research in Education (RIE), ERIC's monthly catalog. They are arranged alphabetically by author. With only two exceptions (journal articles and material available only from the Association for Educational Communications and Technology), all materials are available from the ERIC Document Reproduction Service. Many also are available from Stanford's School of Education. (WCM)

Library networks all over the United States are listed in this directory. For the purposes of this list, a library network is defined as a cooperative effort which involves different types of libraries or which employs advanced telecommunication links. Coverage is most complete for states which have published information on their networking activities. Many equivalent efforts of states which have not published information may be omitted. Entries are listed alphabetically by the network's acronym or initialism. Each entry provides the network's name and address and a brief outline of its age, coverage, and/or special features. When possible, a citation is given to a document which provides further description of the network. An ED number is given for those cited documents which are currently available through the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). (Author/SL)

The selected resources annotated in this bibliography concentrate on educational films and filmstrips for teaching about four ethnic American minorities--Afro-American, Native American Indian, Oriental American, and Spanish-Speaking American. Selections were made on the basis of authenticity, suitability for children and youth, and relevance in today's world. Only a few entries predate 1965. No materials were included which were considered condenscending or degrading to any ethnic group. Citations are arranged alphabetically by title under each of the four ethnic minority headings. Films are listed first, followed by filmstrips. Title, producer and/or distributor, release date, grade level, and some media characteristics are listed with each annotation. Grade level and producer/distributor are given in code form. A directory of producer/distributors and a list of 16 Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) documents dealing with ethnic minorities and the media are included. (Author/PF)
