  • International Exchange for Educators and Librarians in Higher Education. Resource Guide. Clarke, Christine Clearinghouses Database Producers Exchange Programs Federal Government Foreign Countries Government Publications Higher Education Information Services Information Sources International Educational Exchange International Organizations Librarians Resource Materials This guide will help librarians and educators in U.S. colleges and universities to develop an overview of the topic of international exchange, target those U.S. and international government organizations that have relevant information on exchange programs, and use the information tools as a gateway to more detailed research. It is assumed that the user of this guide has access to government documents in a Federal Depository Library, and can access United Nations documents through mail or interlibrary loan. The information sources throughout the guide fall into two broad content areas: (1) sources specifically covering exchange programs; and (2) sources providing information about foreign countries, usually divided between those in the developed world and those in the developing world. Descriptive citations (including telephone numbers and addresses) accompany listings of federal agencies sponsoring international exchange programs; U.S. government sources for funding information; international, non-governmental, and intergovernmental organizations and their publications, databases, clearinghouses and information services. Also included is a description of the Federal Depository System, an explanation of the Government Printing Office's Monthly Catalog, and sources for background readings. (14 references) (MAB)
