With the assistance of this book, public libraries can provide truly outstanding service to this important population. The following are appended: (1) Additional Resources; (2) Commonly Used Sources for Higher Education Data; (3) Sample Questions for Needs Assessment Data Gathering; and (4) Resources for Brainstorming. |
