Fifteen colleges responded to the CSC request. The information received from the colleges in the fall of 2004 was reviewed, sorted and displayed in simple chart format for easy access and distribution.

A total of five resource charts were subsequently developed according to the following subject areas:

• Communications
• Computer Skills
• Math (including Apprenticeship, Business, and Technology)
• Science (including Biology, Chemistry and Physics)
• Self-Direction

The following headings were used for each chart:

1. the name of the resource
2. the author(s)
3. the publisher
4. the type of resource
5. a description of the resource
6. the college(s) currently using, recommending or considering the resource
7. the ISBN number
8. the cost per unit

Although not all of the above information was requested, it was considered important to include all of the information that was submitted. No attempt was made to evaluate any of the materials. Details about costs or names of publishers were sometimes researched, verified, and added; but, for the most part, the information was presented as it was received.

See Appendix C for a sample of the Math Chart.
