The Texas Youth Commission Office of Prevention has just published the first and largest on-line worldwide directory of programs, resources, references and research on the prevention of youth problems and the promotion of nurturing children. It's called The Prevention Yellow Pages, and it's located at http://www.tyc.state.tx.us/prevention/40001ref.html We hope to update and improve this resource on a daily basis and welcome suggestions and information from librarians, educators, researchers, specialists in prevention and child development, parents, and young adults. The Prevention Yellow Pages offers over 1,000 links to the best available prevention material, including books, forthcoming books, journal articles, research reports, program descriptions, government documents, dissertations, on-line resources, web sites, streaming multimedia, etc.; and provides, for the first time, a five-star ranking system to highlight effective prevention programs. This outstanding resource establishes a new standard of excellence in the field of library and information science for the collection and dissemination of practical knowledge, not only for the topic of prevention, but for any topic. I would like to offer this new on-line resource for your review for possible mention in your web site. Thank you for your consideration! John D. Walker, M.D. Texas Youth Commission Office of Prevention 4900 North Lamar Boulevard Austin, Texas 78765-4260 TEL: (512) 424-6199 FAX: (512) 424-6300 prevention@tyc.state.tx.us
