This compilation of miscellaneous information about the San Mateo Educational Resources Center (SMERC) was designed as a reference tool for SMERC linking agents, i.e., SMERC-trained personnel responsible for explaining their center's information services to subscribing agencies. It contains SMERC subscription information: listings of resources and files; descriptions of the types of searches performed by SMERC as well as policies, charges, and publications; guidelines for the submission of documents; a directory of ERIC clearinghouses and related units; a glossary; a list of available microfiche readers and printers including vendors; sample ERIC and SMERC forms; and a schedule for estimating the number of microfiche needed for various document lengths.
