The first survey was conducted in 1979 with 189returns. The full results of this survey are in an article includedin ERIC's Resources in Education, March, 1981 (ED 194110). The current survey was completed in 1985.Questionnaires were sent to the largest education programs accredited bythe National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.Additional centers requested and were accepted for inclusion. Returns were received from 170 curriculum centers in 42 states, the District of Columbia,and 5 in Canada. Handbooks, brochures, and other materials includedwith the survey were sent to the ALA HeadquartersLibrary in Chicago where they may be borrowed. We wish to express our appreciation to theCurriculum Center di- rectors who provided information and toDoris Van Wert, the secretary who typed the manuscript.
