A telephone survey of State information agencies to determine the type of information services they provide resulted in a guide intended for use by user services personnel in referring requestors to specific information resources in a given State. In assessing the status of information resources and services in each of the 50 States, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and American Samoa, the author identifies the names and addresses of selected State information dissemination agencies, lists the locations and comprehensiveness of ERIC microfiche collections, cites whether or not manual and/or computer searches of the ERIC document base are provided, determines the availability of microfiche readers and related equipment, and specifies the accessibility to the public of each agency's library collection. The States are listed alphabetically. (AG)
