Foreword<br />

Knowledge gained through international agricultural research is useless<br />

unless it is published and disseminated to its target audience<br />

<strong>of</strong> scientists, educators, extension specialists, and farmers.<br />

In 1989 <strong>the</strong> <strong>International</strong> Rice Research Institute published <strong>Publications</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>International</strong> Agricultural Research and Development<br />

Centers: 7989, a 730-page catalog <strong>of</strong> titles published by 22 <strong>International</strong><br />

Agricultural Research Centers. The Catalog includes a 182-<br />

page keyword index to help <strong>the</strong> reader locate all publications in certain<br />

fields (i.e. cytogenetics, insect resistance, maize).<br />

The <strong>1990</strong> <strong>Supplement</strong> includes only new titles that are not in <strong>the</strong><br />

larger 1989 catalog. The two catalogs are <strong>the</strong> only compilations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

major Center publications and, collectively, are probably <strong>the</strong> largest<br />

catalog <strong>of</strong> titles on agriculture in developing countries.<br />

The international Rice Research Institute is handling <strong>the</strong> world<br />

distribution <strong>of</strong> both <strong>the</strong> catalog and supplement.<br />
