ISSUES AND TRENDS IN GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING IN THE THIRD WORLD AND THEIR IMPLICATION FOR COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
The following three papers were originally prepared for the 2nd Annual International Studies Library Workshop held in Minneapolis on May 10, 1990 and sponsored by the Institute of International Studies of the University of Minnesota. Designated as a national resource center in international studies by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the Institute’s main focus is on the developing world. Among its activities, the Institute funds library initiatives relating to the integration of specialized bibliographic instruction into International Relations courses, the enhancement of library acquisitions relating to international relations, a series of bibliographic guides on global issues, and programs focusing on library issues relating to the developing world. The Institute’s first program, held in June 1989, focused on the publishing and acquisition of African materials. The following papers, drawn from the Institute’s second program, center around important issues and trends in government publishing in the Third World and their implication for collection development. Specifically, David Rozkuszka ofstanford University discusses the current status of government documentation and publishing in the Third World. John B. Howell of the University of Iowa integrates his personal experiences in buying overseas materials into his paper on the implications of Third World government publishing for library collections and services. To accompany the program, Laurence Hallewell of the University of Minnesota compiled a lengthy bibliography germane to the topic.
