    The International Development Research Centre is a public corporation created by the Parliament of Canada in 1970 to support research designed to adapt science and technology to the needs of developing countries. The Centre"s activity is concentrated in five sectors: agriculture. food and nutrition sciences: health sciences: information sciences: social sciences: and communications. IDRC is financed solely by the Parliament of Canada: its policies. however. are set by an international Board of Governors. The Centre"s headquarters are in Ottawa. Canada. Regional offices are located in Africa. Asia. Latin America. and the Middle East. To our readers: Please remember that individual SA LUS microfiches can be ordered using the coupons at the back of the bibliography. Since this bibliography is generated by computer. the SA LUS data base is also available on magnetic tape in ISO format 2709. Institutions in developing countries with appropriate computer systems may wish to have a copy of the data base in order to provide services more responsive to the needs of local us ers than those we can provide here in Ottawa. In addition. IDRC can offer a complete set of microfiches to institutions with suitable copying and distribution facilities.
