Abstracts of 37 documents recently input to the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) are compiled in this report. These documents were selected as being among the most significant of those dealing with the effective use of media in innovative schools and because they were of special interest to district level administrators, curriculum supervisors and media specialists. Reports dealing solely with computer assisted instruction are not included because this topic has been dealt with separately in a recent publication of "The Best of ERIC: Recent Trends in Computer Assisted Instruction" (ED 076 025). The documents are grouped into the following categories: elementary and secondary education; higher education, including community colleges; adult education; and developing countries. Each annotation contains an abstract of the document and information on its author, source, ERIC ED number or journal citation, and price. Also included are some hypotheses which seek to explain the causes for the apparent decline of innovative media programs and some suggestions about how to improve the reporting of such programs. (PB)
