Series Editors, Jennifer C. Greene, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This volume addresses a fundamental and highly debated issue in the evaluation field - the use
of evaluation information for decision-making. Chapter authors honor the contributions of Professor
Marvin C. Alkin to the evaluation use literature and advance our thinking on the topic by
exploring a wide range of issues related to the theoretical and practical challenges of using evaluation
information to make informed, evidence-based decisions. Readers will come away from
this volume with a new and clearer understanding of the theoretical, contextual, methodological,
and political dimensions of use and with direction for practice. Chapters are written by leading
evaluation scholars, including Ernest House, Stewart Donaldson and Tarek Azzam, Eric
Barela, Richard D. Nunneley, Jr., Jean A. King, Kelli Johnson, and Laura Pejsa, Eleanor Chelimsky,
Michael Quinn Patton, and Wanda D. Casillas, Rodney K. Hopson and Ricardo L.
Gomez.
Evaluation Use and Decision-Making in Society: A Tribute to Marvin C. Alkin will be of great interest to evaluation students, scholars

and experienced evaluation practitioners. It is appropriate for use in a variety of evaluation courses including Introduction to Evaluation
