Selected Materials D Prepared by the Division of Occupational Analysis, U.S. Employment Service Appendix D is a bibliography of the publications of the Division of Occupational Analysis since 1965, including those of both the national office and the regional field centers. A preliminary version of this list was drawn up on the basis of staff site visits to selected field centers and from discussions with national office representatives. To develop a more comprehensive list, we then asked field center supervisors and national office personnel to add to the basic list any other pamphlets, brochures, or guides that they had contributed to, written, or compiled. The resulting bibliography is organized by field center, with the national office publications listed first (no responses were received from Arizona or Florida).

Various editions of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles have served as the Employment Service's basic tool for matching workers and jobs. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles has also played an important role in establishing skill and training requirements and developing Employment Service testing batteries for specific occupations. However, the role of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles has been called into question as a result of planned changes in the operation of the Employment Service.

A plan to automate the operations of Employment Service offices using a descriptive system of occupational keywords rather than occupational titles has led to a claim that a dictionary of occupational titles and the occupational research program that produces it are outmoded. Since the automated keyword system does not rely explicitly on defined occupational titles, it is claimed that the new system would reduce costs by eliminating the need for a research program to supply the occupational definitions.

In light of these considerations, the present volume evaluates the future need for the Dictionary of Occupational Titles.
