| Abstract: | This article is based on work begun during the HERMES project, 'Higher Education Resource Materials: Evaluation and Service', January 1978–December 1979, a project to support the training and development of lecturers in universities and polytechnics through resource materials. Part A examines the discrepancy between availability of and demand for such materials, and comes to conclusions regarding the types and topics where the need is greatest. Part B examines factors which characterize productions used outside the authors' own institutions. In conclusion, the article describes how the findings are being implemented by a working group of the Society for Research into Higher Education. |
