The Business Reference and Services Section (Brass) of RASD announces the 
1994 annual program, New Engines for America: Uncovering Growth Industry 
Information for the New Investment Machines, to be presented on Monday, 
27 June 1994, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., at the Miami Beach Convention 
Center, Room C124.  This program will discuss the determination of growth 
industries with examples from the service, health care, and environmental 
sectors of the economy.  Special emphasis will be placed on current 
implications and trends, new information needs, as well as publications 
and non-traditional resources generated by these industries.  John 
Rekenthaler, editor of Morningstar Mutual Funds, will begin the program 
by discussing the process of determining whether an industry is growing 
and when industry growth is a potential indicator of a high-yield 
investment.  Phyllis Alpert (Miami-Dade Public Library), Susan Detwiler 
(S. M. Detwiler & Associates), and Sharyn Ladner (University of Miami) 
will continue the discussion with a focus on the publications and 
resources in these growth industries.  An extensive bibliography will be 
distributed.
