Oregon Pilot Retrieval Dissemination Project. Final Report.
Fussell, Robert
The Oregon Pilot Retrieval Dissemination Project was one of three state experimental programs conducted in mainly rural areas. The primary objective was to develop a dissemination network, test its effectiveness, and recommend a model for implementation in other states. It was designed to serve teachers and administrators who need access to information and to insure that the information was delivered to them in a useable form. Field agents were employed to meet with prospective clients within designated target areas (districts, counties, or regions); identify their clients' needs and problems; refer these needs to a retrieval staff in the State Education Agency (SEA) who performed computer or manual searches; receive and scan the information; deliver it to the clients; and if need be, help them interpret, adapt, and utilize it in their own settings. Although no formal evaluation is included within this report, an evaluation team determined the program to be successful, particularly since it provided documentation of a joint SEA intermediate service center, local school relationship. A list of requests handled by the project and selected and miscellaneous case studies comprise over two thirds of this report. A summary of the evaluation for the project is also included.
