Abstract: An annotated listing of educational information sources is presented for educational professionals and policy makers. Sources include: printed and computer-access tools; private organizations and government agencies that provide direct assistance or referral services; commercial bibliographic services; and state library services. Some services that access foreign or international data are included. Following a brief discussion of background principles, the material is presented under 3 major categories: printed research tools (e.g., dictionaries, directories, bibliographies, abstracting and indexing services, statistical sources); special subjects (special education, instructional materials guides, printed sources on finance and government); and nonprint sources (e.g, computerized retrieval sources; educational, and financial information nonprint sources; institutional instruction materials information sources; and state library services for educators). A brief final section identifies writing guides and style manuals for administrators, researchers, teachers, and dissemination specialists. (wz).

U.S. research-doctorate programs in the social and behavioral sciences were assessed by a committee of the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils. Attention was focused on 639 research-doctorate programs in seven disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences: anthropology, economics, geography, history, political sciences, psychology, and sociology. The effectiveness of these programs in preparing students for research careers was assessed. Indices that might be relevant to program quality were examined, and information was provided to evaluators on the names of faculty members involved with each program to be rated and the number of research doctorates awarded in the last 5 years. After describing the background to the study and the research methodology, survey findings are presented for each discipline. In addition to extensive statistical findings and analyses, the following appendices are presented: the Survey of Earned Doctorates, the instrument used in the reputational survey, the ARL Library Index, data on faculty research support and research and development expenditures, data on publication records, and lists of planning committee members and participants of the Conference on the Assessment of Quality of Graduate Education Programs.
