The State Research Coordination Units (RCU's) are in an optimum position to provide linkage between the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) and its users as part of a comprehensive vocational-technical education information dissemination system. Realizing this, the Center for Vocational and Technical Education developed this guide with the assistance of RCU personnel. The Guide offers a means of facilitating the information dissemination provision of the Vocational Education Act Amendments of 1968, strengthened by the development of an effective linkage with ERIC and the ERIC Clearinghouse on Vocational and Technical Education, greater knowledge of the total system of participants, and attention to sound principles of program planning and operation. An overview of the problem, guiding principles, essential planning considerations, and steps in implementation are included. Professional personnel should find the guide flexible enough to permit use at different levels and stages of information dissemination efforts. Appendixes and attachments help explain the uses and resources of ERIC. (CD)
