Annual Publications from Symposia Presentations

Authors and Chapter or Article Titles

[To obtain book order information go to http://sdlglobal.com/product_info.html]

NOTE: Many thanks to Travis Plowman, The College of Saint Rose, for sharing inclusive page numbering information for the annual Symposia publications. These data are needed in creating accurate citational information according to the American Psychological Association's manual (5th Edition, 2001). Travis provided this material during a presentation at the 2005 International Self-Directed Learning Symposium, February 2-5, Cocoa Beach, FL, entitled International Self-Directed Learning Symposia Publications: Index. Travis also discovered some errors that existed in my initial work and that help is appreciated, too.

Therefore, this information is incorporated below for all Symposia through 2003. In addition, I have added information pertaining to the new on-line Journal, International Journal of Self-Directed Learning, for volume years 2004, 2005, and 2006. The journal is the current venue for displaying those Symposia papers accepted for subsequent publication, as well as other articles. Chapter or article titles are in bold to facilitate their identification. Finally, following the page numbers I have included authors' first names and related naming information as provided by authors in the original publications for those creating citations for different stylistic requirements.
