PREFACE DeNeloping understanding and appreciation of the history, the natural heritage, the tradition, the, literature and the art of Iowa should be one of the goals of schools and libraries in the state. The bibliography, Iowa and Some Iowans is presented as an aid to the accomplishment of this goal. The first edition of the bibliography vs as prepared by the Professional Relations Committee of the I()v, a Association of School Librarians and published by the Department in 1969. The second edition was prepared by the Department v. ith the assistance of the Iowa Educational Media Association (successor to the Iowa Association of School Librarians). Tw u statew ide committees imuling school librarians and media specialists, teachers, school curriculum and administrative personnel, authorities in Iowa history or Iowa literature from a number of colleges, universities, libraries, aad historical and professional associations gage graciously of time and information to create this edition edited by Betty Jo Buckingham and Mary Lou McGrew, and published by the Department in 1974. Two supplements to this editionwere published by the Department. the first, edited by Betty Jo Buckingham, in 1978 and the second edited by Betty Ju Buckingham and Eleanor Blanks in 1982. The third edition has been prepared by the State of Iowa, Department of Education with the Assistance of the Iowa and Some Iowans Third Edition Committee, L..aired by Betty Ju Buckingham The committee has representatiN es from, or persons recommended by, the Iowa Educational Media Association, Iowa Library Association, Art Educators of Iowa, International Reading AssociationIowa Chapter, Iowa Communication Association, Io.s a Council for the Social Studies, Iowa Council of Teachers of English, Iowa Music Educators Association, the State Library, the State Historical Society, the Area Education Agency Media Centers, and the Department. In addition Lucille Lettow of the Youth Collection at the Uniersity of Northern Iowa, Shirley Shisler of the Public Library of Des Moines, and Pauline Millen, former Iowa "book finder" were asked toserve because of their special knowledge in the field of Iowa literature. With each edition there have been changes and expansions of the publication. In the precious editions Iowa History and Iowa Literature entries have been separated into two major sections. The committee for the third edition has decided to broaden the scope of the history and the literature thrusts and to combine the two sections into one. History, geography, nature study, culture, biography and fiction about 'ow a ur Iowans and the literary and artistic efforts of Iowans will be included. The primary audience addressed in this bibliography iS library media specialists, teachers and students of the schools of Iowa. However, the needs of public, higher education and special libraries, and historical and literary groups are al:J important to this bibliography. Especially useful sources for school library media centers are starred to call them to the attention of users. The selection criteria used for previous editions have been changed to reflect the broadenedscope and the different format of this edition: 1. The primary audience is elementary and secondary school students and their teachers and library media specialists. Secondary audiences include special, academic and public libraries, historical associations and Iowa interest groups. 2. County and local historical materials will be omitted unless they hart a direct bearing on the general history, architecture, etc., of the state, or are likely to be widely available. Bibliographies of such materials will be included. 3. Out-of-print materials 'k ill be included if the committee considers that they deserve to be. Scarce itemsmay be omitted. 4. Materials may be included regardless of quality, historical accuracy, racial, cultural or sex bias, but the evaluative comment should point out these weaknesses. 5. Both pt int and non-print in various media will be included but periodical articles generallyNN ill not be included. 6. State government publication., are generally omitted. A source directory v. all include pertinent state agencies. 7. Authors and artists w ill be included if they were born in Iowa or have been Iowa residents fora significant period of time. 8. Novels, short stories, poetry, plays, biographies and essays are appropriate literary forms to consider. Cartoonists and nonfiction authors, especially those writing for children, artists and musicians andgame creators may also be included. Entries need not necessarily be about Iowa, but annotations should indicate Iowa settings and "the Iowa connection". 9. Some of the titles and/or annotations may be omitted for prolific authors. 10. Authors of textbooks except for writers of texts about Iowa generally will be omitted. This bibliography is aN%orking document. We know w e hat e missed items that should be included and that we hat e included items V. hieh may not seem appropriate. We are fairly certain that we hate made errors on entries. We hope users NNill let the editor know NNhat these changes should be so they can be considered for a future supplement.
