Current awareness in education: an evaluation of Trent Polytechnic's Education News Available to Purchase

Education News is one of several information bulletins produced by the library at Trent Polytechnic. It contains references to articles in newspapers and journals on topics of interest in further education, higher education, and adult education. DES (Department of Education and Science) press releases are also included. About fifty copies of the bulletin are produced fortnightly. It is intended as a current awareness service for senior people in the Polytechnic administration and the departments, but it goes to people outside the Polytechnic as well, and half the recipients are librarians or information officers involved in some way with education.
