onders interessant, die nennenswerte deutsche Minderheiten beherberg(t)en, da diese Abschnitte genau genommen eine Fortsetzung der vorhergehenden Bände darstellen und i.d.R. mehr Interesse beanspruchen können, als zahlreiche Kleinbeiträge z.B. über die Presse der USA aus deutscher Feder. Nehmen wir als Beispiel Rumänien. Von den insgesamt 228 Titeln entfallen immerhin 194 auf die Presse der deutschen Minderheit (von ganz wenigen Ausnahmen für andere Minderheiten abgesehen), geordnet nach regionalen Darstellungen, sodann nach Literatur über einzelne Orte, innerhalb nach allgemeinen Titeln, einzelnen Verlagen bzw. Druckereien und schließlich nach einzelnen Zeitungsunternehmen." (Klaus Schreiber, in: Informationsmittel für Bibliotheken (IFB) 6(1998) Nr.3-4)

There is also a case study of the “tribulations” and problems encountered by a science journal published in Ethiopia. A paper on Latin America and the Caribbean rounds off the volume, and provides both comparisons and contrasts with Africa." (Hans M.

ment of communications materials in Government of Uganda-UNICEF programmes. The assessment focused in particular on the influence of the various processes on stakeholder ownership and use and aimed to determine whether opportunity costs incurred by each process development method were justified. Methodology for the assessment involved the examination of all communications materials produced since the beginning of the restructured country programme and the categorization of these materials according to the process used in their development. Materials were categorized according to their specific purpose and considered the development in terms of initial organization Interviews with all those involved in materials development were conducted individually and in groups. A detailed analysis of six cases, each representing a category of material development, was then conducted. The findings of the assessment were presented as a series of tables which allowed for cross comparisons of the various methods used in the development of communications materials. The single most important element in the development of successful materials was the appropriate participation and involvement of the stakeholders. Participation which allowed transparency in decision making and clarity in accountability was most significant, underlining the importance of ownership of materials in the development process. The second significant finding of the study was the importance of choosing a process appropriate to the needs of the materials which are to be developed. Guidelines to assist in this choice were developed as part of the assessment. Another key issues which influenced the process of materials development were lack of effective facilitation in group process. The role of effective conceptualization was also examined. Those undertaking the assessment observed that the most successful materials development processes were those which began with a clear set of goals, objectives and activities. Recommendations of the assessment included the establishment of ‘facilitation unit’ within the UNICEF office, with counterparts in the government, to support the implementation of materials development."
