The Literature of the Nonprofit Sector:
A Bibliography with Abstracts, Volume 8
(The
Foundation Center, 1996)
Since
1988, when a retrospective conversion of all the Center's holdings was
completed and a new bibliographic service unit was created, the Foundation
Center has sought to increase public access to information on philanthropy
and the nonprofit sector by identifying, indexing, and abstracting relevant
books, articles, and nonprint resources such as CD-ROM and audiovisual
materials. To this end, the Center established a computerized database
and began issuing annual printed volumes of The Literature of the Nonprofit Sector. This comprehensive
bibliography lists the best references in fundraising, foundations, corporate
giving, nonprofit management, voluntarism, and more. For quick and easy
research, the entries are divided into 12 broad subject fields such as
foundations, proposal development, and corporate philanthropy. In addition,
many of the entries are abstracted. Subject, title, and author indexes
help you target the resources you're looking for.
Volume 1 provides a selection of Foundation Center holdings
through 1989; subsequent volumes update the bibliography with listings
of more recent acquisitions. The eighth volume features more than 1,000
listings, expanding the series's coverage to over 14,000 titles.
In 1997, in lieu of printing a ninth volume, the Center released
The Literature of the Nonprofit
Sector Online (see separate listing under Internet Resources), a comprehensive
searchable database that includes all the citations that would have appeared
in print in the ninth volume and also cumulates the citations from the
eight preceding volumes. Softcover,
142 pages, $45; Volumes 1–8: $255 (Call toll-free 1-800-424-9836 for prices
of previous volumes.)
