A Manual For The Evaluation Of Current Awareness Bulletins

Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.

"The Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science provides an outstanding resource in 33 published volumes with 2 helpful indexes. This thorough reference set--written by 1300 eminent, international experts--offers librarians, information/computer scientists, bibliographers, documentalists, systems analysts, and students, convenient access to the techniques and tools of both library and information science. Impeccably researched, cross referenced, alphabetized by subject, and generously illustrated, the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science integrates the essential theoretical and practical information accumulating in this rapidly growing field."

This manual is a follow-up to AGARD lecture series' The evaluation of Information centres and services, LS 160, published in September 1988 (AD-A202 498). It suggests an approach to evaluation devised by the authors, which emphasizes the use of evaluation measures, models and methods and includes data and results from actual studies.
