ACKNOWLEDGMENTS December 2009 Since the beginnings of its a development in 1983, the AIRS/211 LA County Taxonomy (formally titled A Taxonomy of Human Services: A Conceptual Framework with Standardized Terminology and Definitions for the Field) has benefited from the generous assistance of many people who have shared their expertise with us and helped us identify distinct human service concepts, the appropriate placement of those concepts in the hierarchy and clear, concise and accurate wording for preferred terms and definitions. A variety of authoritative publications have also been used in the design of both the structure and the contents of the Taxonomy, and many publishers have given us permission to quote, sometimes extensively, from their copyrighted materials. Also utilized in our research were brochures produced by agencies providing a targeted service; a variety of other human service taxonomies, thesauri and dictionaries; and, of course, a myriad of informative Web sites that are now available on the Internet. Below are the acknowledgments for those resources. NOTE: some of the Web sites were accessed a number of years ago and the links may no longer be viable. However, because we still want to acknowledge our use of their material, we have not removed the references.
