This bibliography is part of a study of cooperation among local governments in rural areas. Information about materials on this topic has not previously been readily available. Because agricultural areas may benefit from experience with interlocal cooperation in urban areas, the bibliography includes materials reporting such experience. Thus, it also serves as a source of information for those concerned with problems of general local government.
