How are CRC Research Results Disseminated?
At one time, all CRC publications were printed and distributed by mail, and that still happens with a few CRC reports. Currently, however, the primary medium for distributing CRC research results is our website, www.crcmich.org. The Internet is a much more powerful medium, permitting CRC to release reports in a more timely fashion, include large data bases that would be cumbersome and expensive to print, and include links to other sources of information on a given subject. CRC also participates in numerous public presentations, either initiated by CRC or by other organizations. CRC staff average 1-2 presentations per week. These occur all over the State of Michigan. Finally, CRC enjoys good relations with the media, especially the press. Press coverage is important in informing citizens and policy makers of the work of the Council.
