This report focuses on the fiscal year 1987 activities of the Education Information Center (EIC), a service operated by the Georgia Department of Education. Designed for use by top public school administrators and consultants, the purpose of the EIC was to help them save time and do a more effective job by expanding their knowledge about educational problems or issues they were facing on the job. It is noted that, in the period covered by this report (July 1986 through June 1987), the EIC responded to 1,172 requests from 411 individuals and--because requesters shared the information--reached more than 25,400 others. This report provides analyses of data on the groups served by the EIC during its final year, how the information provided was utilized, client evaluations of the research packets provided by the EIC, the value of the information to clients, staffing and service from 1983 through 1987, types of research packets and other information services provided, the sources and types of information included in research packets, average packet preparation time in minutes, and research packet preparation time by activity. In conclusion it is noted that, during the 15 years it was in operation, the EIC responded to 9,347 requests for information needed by administrators and consultants to handle their professional assignments and solve on-the-job problems more effectively, and that client reaction to EIC services was consistently extremely positive. The EIC was discontinued when the Georgia Department of Education was reorganized in May 1987. Nine tables display the data discussed in the report. (RP)
