A Report of the National Rural Center's Information Outreach Service, September 30, 1979 Through September 29, 1980

摘要

Central to the concept and operation of the center is its role in providing sound and well-documented information relevant to the design of workable national approaches to rural development. During the year the consortium helped the center fulfill this role by supporting the following types of information services: information collection and outreach, and individualized information services provided in the following major issue areas: economic development, education, health, human services, data needs and capacity building, and transportation and energy; rural policy meetings concerning issues critical to the determination of national policy for rural development; computerized and catalogued reference and data services provided through operation of a specialized rural issues library; and publications, including newsletters.
