~lnanti~l LlmitatlunM ----The costs for providing over:Jll conference ~upport--l!ltra-city transpor-

tatiun and materials--to more than 70 Workshup partIcipant.s were prohibitive.

Consequently, confercncl! participants had to be caretulLy !;t!1ectcd t(> represent

the necessary diverse populations. Since leaders nationwide in correctional

vocational education were interested in attending this conference, over 100

qUdlified persons nl'(,l's~ariJy had to be rcfubed. Unfortunately then, within

financial constraints of the project budget, potentially meritous contrib~lors

could not be invited.

Information Resource Limitations

To identify the needs and concerns of correctional vocational educators,

secondary information in the form of articles. books, and other documents

were to have been reviewed. Since complete documents were often not avail-

able, documcnt abstracts frequently were used a's source documents. \o,'hile

these abstracts were effective in reflecting the needs and concerns of cor-

rectional vocati(lI1al educators. a more analytical review and synthesis of

literature ""Quld require more complete information resources. Currently, no

ctlntralized scurctls of documents and instructional materials about vocational

education in correctional institutio~s ~xlst.
