ASE files include the original proposal, which was funded by an ALA Goal Award (1983) memoranda, minutes of meetings, the pilot questionnaire, ASE Seminar notes, descriptions of participating libraries, project procedures manual, correspondence of principal investigator Kathleen M. Heim, and mailing lists. The file includes several 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppy disks.
