Page 15 t -- A RESOURCE INDEXmore or less related to centers While researching the Roughdraft on Centers, the Eco-Net staff discovered certain information gaps. Though many folks who helped us have developed their ideas about centers from eclectic sources, we found little written material which directly addressed some of these questions: (1) What are the sociocultural-economic indicators which stimulate the development of centers? (2) What are the best ways to measure these factors? (3) How can we best demonstrate the importance of a center to its community? (4) What do centers as diverse as the OMSI Energy Center and the Women's Resource Center have in common? (5) Can data about centers form a predictive basis for future research? Perhaps it is true, as Don Stotler has suggested, that "You can't read about new ideas, you have to see models of them." We'd like to hear from RAIN readers who can tell us more about these questions from their own experience, and offer suggestions for future research. Write RAJ N.
