This paper describes some of the systematic efforts used in the last decade for disseminating the products of research and development in vocational education and provides suggestions for dealing with problems and issues to facilitate the movement of information resources from producers to consumers. The paper: (1) Traces the history and role of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) in the dissemination of information in vocational education; (2) reviews the efforts and activities of the Center for Vocational Education (CVE) at The Ohio State University in operating the ERIC Clearinghouse; and (3) describes the scope and purposes of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Career Education along with some recent observations on the Center's operation while at Northern Illinois University. The role of AIM/ARM (Abstracts of Instructional Materials/Abstracts of Research Materials) in vocational education information dissemination is described, including the history, goals, funding, and accomplishments of its decade of operation. The state dissemination systems of Tennessee and Pennsylvania are described in detail. Also included are a discussion of the utilization of research and development products and results, a sampling of current projects funded under Parts C, D, and I of the Vocational Education Amendments, and suggestions for more systematic ways to assess the impact of research and development efforts.
