STUDIES
The Library is sponsoring two studies. The first is already underway and involves
a large number of the 180 plus search and support organizations in the U.S. and
Canada. It is a siniple statistical review of the persons who contact each group,
what their primary needs are, what part of the triad they represent, age, etc. The
second is a visual impression study utilizing video tape. This will be broadcast
on Cablesystems public access television when it is completed. We can use help in
all aspects of these studies. Any of you having statistics or video knowledge can
be especially helpful if you would volunteer your time and expertise. Please call
and speak to Mary Jo if you can give some help.
