The only overview of research on the uniquely American community college system, which is increasingly becoming the site of entry for students seeking a higher education. * Five narrative chapters address the history, evolution, and current issues facing community colleges * Three additional chapters include a chronology; a listing of organizations, associations, and agencies; and an annotated listing of print and nonprint resources
"With its high proportion of current references, up-to-date directory listings, and clearly written analyses of the history and issues, Community Colleges appears to have succeeded very well in its aim to provide an introduction to, and analysis of, its topic as well as a guide to further research." - American Reference Books Annual
