New Projects at the APA Library

The Planners Bibliography Web Tool

The Planners Bibliography Web Tool is an online resource for planners and researchers seeking an interdisciplinary, annotated bibliography of pertinent literature.

In the first iteration, it includes listings of scholarly and practical monographs, government documents, and websites, bringing the best scholarly work to the attention of practitioners in the field and highlighting for scholars important practical applications of academic research. Journal and magazine articles will be added in the next phase of development.

A selection of key resources is highlighted in this downloadable brochure (pdf).

This project was funded in part by a Carnegie-Whitney Grant from the American Library Association.
