Publications have been one of the primary delivery methods used by the Cooperative Extension Service. However, concerns have been expressed by Extension administrators about such problems as lack of new publications to address emerging demands, low supplies of useful publications, overproduced and/or outdated publications, inadequate budgets, and publications that are printed for the wrong reasons. To address some of these concerns at the program management and administrative level, a model for publication review is proposed. The model suggests the criteria for publication review by the program area, level of organization, and the subject-matter discipline. The model suggests that target audiences, duplication, and usefulness need to be reviewed at both the program and the discipline level of the organization. Factors to be considered in publication review include program priorities, cost, adequate supplies, target audience, duplication, usefulness, accuracy, and comprehensiveness. These review criteria for Extension publications consider the pluralistic nature of Extension programs, characteristics of audiences, budget constraints, and writers' biases. To implement the review criteria, administrators at program level and subject-matter specialists who are developing publications should have guidelines based on them. A review committee should be used to examine Extension publications before they reach the printing process. (KC)
