[PW] Availability of Zurkowski report

[Elizabeth L. Brown]

Unless it was converted recently, I doubt you will find this in an 
electronic format.  But it should be available.

You could try (per the National Archives web site's listing of 
records officers
http://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/agency/independent-agencies.html ):
Maleleine McCain
National Commission on Libraries and Information Science
1110 Vermont Ave. #820
Washington, DC 20005
202-606-9200

OR...

ERIC reports with ED numbers (ED100391, in this case) are widely 
available on microfiche at U.S. research libraries.  Many will 
reproduce them via their Interlibrary Loan or Document Delivery 
services.  A listing of libraries with this subscription as of 1996 
is in the document, "Directory of ERIC Resource Collection, 
1996"  (ED400831)" 
http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/contentdelivery/servlet/ERICServlet?accno=ED400831 
.

The Library of Congress is included on this list indicating that 
these reports are held by the Technical Reports section 
http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/trs/trsover.html of the Science and 
Technology Division.  A guide to obtaining documents from this 
section is here: http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/trs/trsgetting.html .

Good luck.
