Call for Contributors to
The Training and Performance Sourcebook and
The Team and Organization Development Sourcebook (McGraw-Hill)

The Training and Performance Sourcebook and The Team and Organization
Development Sourcebook, edited by Mel Silberman, are annual collections of
reproducible materials for trainers, consultants, team facilitators and
managers. The first sourcebooks appeared in 1996 and the 1999 volumes
have recently been published. By now, the sourcebooks have a substantial
readership, having acquired buyers from extensive direct
mail/telemarketing and by distribution in bookstores throughout the
country. Several leaders in the human resource development field have
been among the contributors, such as Bob Pike, Chip Bell, Diane Gayeski,
Thiagi, Bill Rothwell, Jack Phillips, Scott Parry, Marlene Caroselli,
Darryl Sink, Stephen Haines, Roger Kaufman, and Dianna Booher.

helpful handout, or short practical article that you would be willing to
share with others?

material for the 2000 editions. We would be pleased to add your name to
