A Comparison of Guides to Non-Print Media. Updated 1975.

An update of the 1973 Comparison of Guides to Non-Print Media, which lists guides and indexes to nonprint instructional media, has been compiled. The 1975 edition is cumulative, with 17 new indexes and guides included, and out-of-date indexes and guides excluded. Five comprehensive guides covering a number of content areas have been added, 2 have been deleted, for a total of 39. Twelve guides covering a specific subject area have been added, 4 have been deleted, for a total of 38. The specific subject areas covered are: ecology, ethnic studies, guidance, health and drug abuse, the sciences and technology, teacher training, vocational education, languages, social science, health and recreation, and women. An abstract is provided for each citation, accompanied by information on the type of media covered by the guide, the educational level for which it is pertinent, its price, and the frequency of publication. Also, notation is made of whether the guide is cross-indexed, and whether it contains publication dates, designates the intended audience, gives running times, provides content summaries and evaluations for its citations, and names the distributors and the prices and conditions of availability of the materials.
