The preparation of this bibliography has been influenced by the fact that this guide is likely to be used by extension agents and their trainers who will have little time for extensive reading or research. It has been decided, therefore, not to produce a lengthy list of titles, most of which might, in any case, be difficult for the agent to obtain, but instead to suggest a small number of the more widely used texts on extension. The list has been divided into four broad types of extension literature.
