Information Flows and Transfer in Educational Organizations: Selective Bibliography.

This selective, annotated bibliography presents the results of a survey of current literature in several disciplines relating to the theme of information flows and transfer in educational organizations. Created as a preliminary step in an ongoing research project to investigate the formal and informal information processes in a small college setting, the bibliography can serve as a resource guide for researchers interested in the study of organizations in information science, the social sciences, management and organization studies, and communication studies. Introductory material defines the literature and subjects covered, lists search tools, and provides sample entry formats. Sources published from 1979 to 1986 are listed alphabetically according to publication type in three categories: (1) Books and Collected Papers; (2) Journal and Magazine Articles, Conference Proceedings and Papers; and (3) Dissertations. Annotations provided for 71 of the 99 entries indicate the relevance of the work cited to the theme of the bibliography. A separate list of journals and their Library of Congress call numbers is also included. (Author/KM)
