Moreover, the Government's current five-year plan directly focuses on rural development and employment creation. Attracted by its potential, its principles and its people, researchers, rural development specialists and donors have generated a large body of literature about every facet of life in Botswana. This is in addition to the ongoing and cumulative production of data and publications by the government and institu tions of Botswana. The preparation of this resource bibliography was undertaken as part of the continuing documentation and information exchange activities of SADEX, the Southern African Documentation and Information Exchange Project, and was begun at the request of development specialists in Botswana. This reference tool is intended as an aid to researchers, teachers, govern ment officials and rural development personnel working in Botswana and in the region. It is organized around topical categories and indicates the strengths and lacunae in research coverage, demonstrating how much knowledge has been generated about Botswana since Independence. A preliminary copy of the draft material was circulated to researchers in Botswana for their use and comments while the bibliography was finalized. A comprehensive bibliography on Botswana, which covers all sectors and spans pre-colonial times through independence, is i currently being compiled by Karla Jones (UBS Library) and is scheduled for publication shortly. The compilation of this bibliography led to difficult choices about what to include. However, this is a working tool, and users should be advised that the presence of an annotated entry does not indicate editorial preference. Since much of this bibliography was compiled in the United States, many documents were unavailable for primary access and annotation. The major bibliographic sources for Government of Botswana publications are the originating Ministries, the Rural Sociology Unit Library in the Ministry of Agriculture, and the National Archives. The National Institute of Social and Economic Research (NIR) and University of Botswana and Swaziland (UBS) Libraries, as well as the Institute of Development Management (IDM) collection, are other key centers for policymakers and researchers in Botswana. Publication and distribution of this work was made possible through a contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Southern African Affairs, in cooperation with the A.I.D. Mission in Gaborone. Requests for information about the bibliography and the location of documents cited therein should be directed to the African Bibliographic Center, Washington, D.C. Further information is available in SADEX, the bimonthly publication of the Southern Africa Development Information/Documentation Exchange Project, produced by the Center. A note of thanks is due to Mary Bivens and Kathy Baker for their assistance in the initial stage of preparing this bibliography. Special recognition and my sincere appreciation for their suggestions and cooperation are also extended to: ii (U.S. AID/ Kay Raseroka (UBS Library); Francine Henderson (NIR); Helen Gunther of Botswana); Bonnake Tsimako, Victor Amann and Howard Sigwele (Ministry Mac and Agriculture); Steven Haggblade (Ministry of Commerce and Industry); Institute of Marcia Odell (formerly of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Eicher (Michigan Development Management respectively); Anne Schneller and Carl and Carolyn Goshen State University); Constance Burr, Ann Cavan, Kathy Dennie Congress); and Carol (African Bibliographic Center); Beverly Gray (Library of Gaborone).
