To assist both practitioner and reader to find answers to questions on the theory and practice of recurrent education, this resource guide compiles 715 abstracts of relevant articles, books, and monographs, from many countries. Descriptors and identifiers, used in computer searches to identify the materials, are arranged alphabetically in the index, followed by the numbers of the abstracts to which those terms refer. Furthermore, each abstract is classified (somewhat arbitrarily, as the author admits) as either a theoretical construct or a programmatic application. A summary shows the number of abstracts per year since 1963 by type (theoretical or programmatic). The number of abstracts per country can be seen in the identifier summary, followed by the list of abbreviations used. Sources for the abstracts were the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) data base and the International Bureau of Education (ICE) citations. (CP)
