This bibliography on “Education and Training in Antigua and Barbuda” has been specifically prepared for
the UWI School of Continuing Studies’ Antigua and Barbuda Conference. An attempt has been made to be
as comprehensive as possible, but the compiler recognizes that because of the weak bibliographical coverage
of the literature of the region, important items may have been omitted. This is especially true for policy
documents emanating from official sources, since many of these do not reach library and documentation
centres. In this respect, I would appreciate indications of any omissions or corrections, since amendments
can be made to the computerized database being developed by the Caribbean Educational Research
Information Service (CERIS) at the School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine. It is hoped that this database
will be available online in the near future for the benefit of all researchers, planners, policy makers, and
practitioners in the field of education in the English-speaking Caribbean. A few websites available on the
Internet have been included in the bibliography.
Arrangement of Entries
The entries in the bibliography are arranged alphabetically by broad subject areas, then by author and title
under each subject area. Each entry has a unique item number, and it will be observed that some entries
occur under more than one subject heading. In the interest of space, the abstract is only printed under the
first occurrence of an entry, with a reference made to the entry containing the abstract in subsequent
occurrences. There are 201 entries in this bibliography, but because of the duplication of some entries, it
should be noted that these represent a total of 156 records.
In order to facilitate retrieval of entries through different approaches, the bibliography has been provided
with three indexes: a Personal Name Index, an Index of Corporate Authors and Sponsors, and a
Supplementary Subject index. The Contents List is the primary tool for retrieving entries by subject, but the
subject index is intended as a valuable supplement to this subject arrangement. The subject terms in the
Contents List are not repeated in the subject index. Instead, the index seeks to highlight subjects other than
the main subjects covered by the studies, which are likely to be of interest to potential users. Numbers under
each entry in the indexes refer to the unique item number assigned in the main text.
Abstracting
The items for which abstracts have not been supplied represent items that the compiler was not able to
consult, either to verify the entries or to prepare an abstract. Unfortunately, there are about 42 such records
in the bibliography, representing some 27% of the total entries. Therefore, it was decided to have the title
reflect the fact that the bibliography is only partially annotated. Where a copy of the document was not
obtained, an attempt was made to supply as much bibliographical information as possible. Certain
abbreviations have been used to indicate omissions in the bibliographical information supplied:
n.p. no pagination
S.l. no place of publication
s.n. no publisher name
n.d. no date of publication
