It includes the AEA eLibrary of presentations made at its annual conventions; Guiding Principles for Evaluators which describes the professional practice of evaluators and what clients and the public can expect from the evaluators with whom they work; searchable links to local evaluators; and many links to other web-based resources on evaluation and on-line evaluation handbooks and textbooks. The Association also supports EVALTALK, a very active public listserv discussion board. http://www.eval.org
