Abstract

This is a selective guide to social service agencies in the U.S. which publish directories of their services. It is meant to assist collection developers in public, academic, and private agency libraries. A total of 154 agencies were contacted by mail and asked to complete a survey form. Twenty letters were returned, marked “no current address.” Fifty agencies returned the questionnaires and/or sent samples and other descriptive information. However, some organizations' information was insufficient or indicated that the agency/organization was inappropriate for inclusion. Only those that provided complete information are included.
