Culturally Disadvantaged

A Keyword-Out-of-Contexł Index (KWOC)

Compiled by Robert E. Booth, Theodore Manheim, Diane A. Satterthwaite, and Gloria L. Dardarian

Concern for the culturally or economically disadvantaged has mounted in recent years and is producing a growing body of literature important to anyone working in the field. Culturally Disadvantaged is both a bibliog­ raphy of and an index to this literature. As a bibliography, it identifies about 1400 items drawn from a wide range of sources. As an index, it has between ten and 25 keywords or de­ scriptors for each bibliographic item. All items have been examined in their original source to verify the accuracy of the listings. Culturally Disadvantaged is an essential tool for librarians and school per­ sonnel. The compilers are members of the staff of the department of library science, Wayne State University, and of the Wayne State University Li­ braries. 813 pages, clothbound $25.00 WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS / Detroit, Michigan 48202

Faculty opinions of library service and their suggestions for improving such service will also be studied. Methods of investigation include study of library circulation records and interviews of a random sample of Kent’s more than seven hundred full-time faculty members.
