Book excerpt: Educational Rankings Annual is useful for students, parents and school faculty. Also administrators of libraries and educational institutions use rankings to defend budgets, justify new positions, obtain government funding and attract philanthropic support. The annually updated resource presents more than 4,000 national, regional and international lists and rankings compiled from hundreds of respected sources. The entries in Rankings include a description of the ranking, background information on criteria for establishing the hierarchy, additional remarks about the ranking, the complete or partial (if extensive) ranking and source citations if necessary.
