A PROJECT WAS UNDERTAKEN TO SELECT, ABSTRACT, AND INDEX SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH MATERIALS CONCERNING THE EDUCATION OF STUDENTS OF HIGH ABILITY. IN ADDITION TO THE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE OFFICES OF THE INTER-UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE ON THE SUPERIOR STUDENT, A REQUEST WAS SENT TO LEADING ADMINISTRATORS ON VARIOUS CAMPUSES FOR RECENT LITERATURE ON THE SUBJECT. A TOTAL OF 1,000 DOCUMENTS WERE ANALYZED AND ABSTRACTED AS WELL AS INDEXED ACCORDING TO KEY WORDS IN THE ABSTRACT. THE ABSTRACTS ALONG WITH THE DOCUMENTS FROM WHICH THE ABSTRACTS WERE MADE, WERE SHIPPED TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH INFORMATION CENTER. THE DOCUMENTS WILL BE SORTED AND EVALUATED CONCERNING THEIR UTILITY TO POSSIBLE FUTURE READERS. THEY WILL BE REPRODUCED PHOTOGRAPHICALLY, AND THE ENTIRE SET RETURNED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO. A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED DURING THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT. EXAMPLES DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT ARE--FORMS USED FOR ABSTRACTING, INDEXING, SELECTION OF RESEARCH MATERIALS, EDITING, AND LIAISON. (JC)
