A total of 39 references to both published and unpublished materials drawn from a variety of sources are presented in this annotated bibliography. The materials included represent the most significant current literature on the diverse nature and characteristics of two-year college students, their special needs, and the programs developed to meet these needs. The bibliography is divided into nine sections: Comprehensive Sources, Vocational Students, Ethnic Minority Students, Handicapped Students, Part-Time Students, Prisoners and Parolees, Senior Citizens, Veterans, and Women Students. Preceding the bibliography is a brief summary of 14 significant findings synthesized from the included literature and 11 important questions concerning two-year college students and program effectiveness for which the literature does not provide answers.
