Annotation: This manual contains background information designed to serve as a springboard for discussion in the planning of a new resource center in the subject area of maternal and child health.

The manual includes an outline of activities the new resource center could undertake, suggestions on how NCEMCH could assist the new center, and sample materials from the NCEMCH Reference Collection.
