Sources of Information on Social Issues: Education, Employment, Public Health and Safety, Population, Etc. A Brief Guide for Journalists and Others. An Occasional Paper from ERIC at Stanford.

An introduction which explains the value of information centers in aiding the flow of knowledge in person to person communication of information is followed by references to print sources and information centers. Print sources, listed to show continuity in the "people-print-people" cycle, are offered on the subjects of education, public health and safety, business, labor, employment, economics, and government. In addition, the directories of the National Referral Center for Science and Technology which lead the search to other sources of information, are described. Information centers are listed according to the same subject areas as the above print sources, each reference containing a brief descriptive passage. (SP)
