Science and technology for international development, a selected list of information sources in the US and bibliography of selected materials

The first identifies a number of U.S.-based libraries and organizations with major holdings in fields related to science and technology in developing countries. It also includes some of the smaller more specialized collections which are of particular significance. The report updates a previous publication with the same title, issued in March 1972 by the Office of Science and Technology of the Agency for International Development. Many of the sources noted in the original edition are included here with updated information on current collections and services. In addition, several new sources have been identified and described with pertinent information for their use. The second section of this report is a bibliography of selected references relevant to the use of science and technology for development. While these references cover a wide variety of topics, three in particular have been emphasized: the transfer of technology; industrialization; and small-scale industries. It should be noted that the topics emphasized in this edition differ from those addressed in the first edition. Although the previous list of libraries and organizations is superseded by the current list, the two bibliographies are complementary. The bibliography is not exhaustive, but is intended to give the reader a broad overview of the key works on these topics.
