Book Description
Brings together under one cover a wide range of sample survey and census data on demographic, social, economic, and housing trends for the Nation as a whole. It includes data collected from 1920 to 1996 and reflects the most recent information available on each topic as of 1997. In many cases, the data are shown by race and Hispanic origin (of any race). The samples are drawn from the non institutional population in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and do not include the population of Puerto Rico or the outlying areas. At the end of each section, a "For Further Information" box lists sources of data and a subject specialist who can answer technical questions.

Book Description
In 1996, nearly 40 million United States citizens were reported to be living in poverty. This enormous number set in conjunction with the rapid growth in demand for more information technology presents librarians with a wrenching dilemma: how to maintain a modern facility while increasing services to the economically disadvantaged. Karen Venturella has gathered a diverse group of librarians and facilitators--including Khafre Abif, head of Children's Services for the Mount Vernon Public Library in New York; Wizard Marks, who directs the Chicago Lake Security Center in its mission to improve the area; Lillian Marrero, who has concentrated on providing services to the Spanish speaking population; Kathleen de la Pena McCook, director of the School of Library and Information Science at the University of South Florida; and 15 others--to find strategies for dealing with the current crisis of disparity. These writers address both the theoretical issues of ensuring access to information regardless of ability to pay, and the practical means for meeting the needs of low income populations. Appendices include the ALA's "Policy on Library Services to Poor People," "The Library Bill of Rights," and a listing of poverty-related organizations.
