- Federal HMO Policy: A Library Research Exercise. Colson, Harold Academic Libraries Federal Government Higher Education Information Seeking Library Instruction Library Skills Public Administration Education Public Health Legislation Public Policy Reference Materials Workbooks This work is designed to help introduce students in the Master of Public Administration program at Auburn University to the major types of research material that are available in the Ralph Brown Draughon Library. The exercise simulates a typical research process by posing a series of questions about a specific issue in the public administration field, namely the development and implementation of federal government policy on health maintenance organizations (HMO). The questions involve the identification and use of relevant books, articles, dissertations, hearings, reports, statutes, regulations, and court cases. A list of appropriate library reference tools and an answer key accompany the exercise, which is administered following an introductory lecture-tour. The average time required to complete the assignment is approximately five hours. (Author)
