The document serves as a step-by-step guide for career education administrators, consultants, and directors in preparing a program for the utilization of community resources in schools. Two methods of utilizing resources are the operation of a service which keeps a file of persons willing to serve as resources in the classroom, and the publication of a directory of such persons. Nineteen procedural steps for establishing a resource directory are individually described in detail. Supporting materials such as forms for gathering information, sample letters, evaluation forms, and other procedures are presented for each step where relevant. The guide has been field-tested by the Westside Area Career/Occupations Project in Glendale, Arizona, and the Washington Elementary School District in Phoenix. (EC)
