The Mental Measurements Yearbooks: Progress‐to‐Date, Problems, and Plans for the Future

Abstract

The Program Committee of the National Council on Measurement in Education requested that the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements present a special session at the NCME meeting on April 12–14, 1983, on the Institute's current activities and future plans. NCME interest was no doubt heightened by the fact that Oscar K. Buros, who had served so effectively as editor and publisher of the Mental Measurements Yearbooks for over 40 years, had passed away in March of 1978. After his death there was a great deal of conjecture about whether this important work would continue. Through the sustained efforts of his widow, Luella Buros, the Institute was eventually relocated at the University of Nebraska‐Lincoln. Now NCME was interested in how the work was progressing and what kinds of plans the new Institute was developing for the future. The material presented here is in answer to this request.
