But as important asthese are, they are only as effective as an aware and aninformed public make them. ConsumerEducation is an integral part of consumer protection." Consumer Education is a valuable tool and mut be made available for all Americansyoung or old,rich or poor. I have encouraged Consumer Educationand am aware of the increased number of consumer programs. Moreneeds to be done, however, particularly for the poor,foreign language speaking, and the elderly. It is hoped that this bibliography willbe helpful to consumer educators, school and public libraries, andcommunity information centers in establishing such programs. Children are often overlooked as consumersand it is important that they learn how to be wise consumers at anearly age ; therefore, a new section on books forthe education and pleasure of our young people is included. This Consumer Education Bibliography isthe result of the efforts of many. I am particularly indebtedto Mr. John Mackenzie Cory, Director, the New York Public Library,Mr. Robert C. Sheehan, Principal Librarian, History & Social ScienceDepartment, Mid- Manhattan Library and my Consumer Educationstaff, Mr. Samuel B.

It was undertaken at the invitation of Mrs. VirginiaH. Knauer, Special Assistant tothe President for Consumer Affairs. The recent proliferation ofmaterials in this area has made it impossible to produce an exhaustivebibliography. We have instead attempted to give an overview of thefield. For practical reasons of space, we haveomitted those items which appear inuniversity extension bulletins and those itemswhich are readily available only in local areas. No attempthas been made to index everyarticle appearing in consumer oriented periodicals.Annotations have been kept as brief as possible. Wherever possible the most recentedition of each item has been listed. The nature of the subject,however, requires constantrevision of materials, so the user shouldbe sure to obtain the latestedition for the most up-to-dateinformation. It has been an honor for TheNew York Public Library tobe consulted on this revision and to beassociated with what is hoped to be a useful contribution to a fieldof such paramount importance.
