Advisory committees are used often in evaluation studies, yetthis practice is little discussed or reported. This issue is thefirst full-length text devoted to the purpose, practice, andscholarship about this type of formal, structured advice.
It includes case studies and analyses of these to answer suchbasic topics as:
* What is an evaluation advisory group (EAG)?
* Why (not) use an EAG?
* How to organize an EAG, and how to evaluate it?
The reader will learn how to view the EAG as a structure ofexpertise, its use for political legitimacy, and as a response to avariety of constituencies. Guidelines on how to recruit, select,orient, train, monitor, assess, and evaluate EAG members are alsoincluded.
This is the 136th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterlyreport series New Directions for Evaluation, an officialpublication of the American Evaluation Association.
