A public information center was established in an area covering 16 libraries in Detroit, Michigan. Funded by a Title I grant, the center sought to increase the effectiveness of information flow to residents and to compile a community resources directory. Several types of literature were reviewed and information was gathered from the Detroit Public Library information and referral service. A file system was established, subject headings chosen, and a questionnaire was sent out to find the type of information that was needed. A brochure about employment resources was designed and published. Seven appendixes include: a map of Macomb County; the project grant application; census and planning commission data; 49 information sources on community resources; the project questionnaire; and the employment brochure.
