Education is a key component in the transition back to civilian life and employment for many new veterans. Enrollment in college allows veterans to upgrade existing skills or gain new skills in order to transition to a new career. Successful completion of college programs provides veterans with valuable credentials that may validate uncredentialed skills they gained in the military. However, many service members find it difficult to align these skills and knowledge gained via military service to the civilian labor market. To improve the educational experiences and outcomes of student veterans enrolled in community colleges, the Kisco Foundation in 2015 awarded five community colleges across the country the Kohlberg Prize, a six-month planning grant to enhance services for veterans by connecting them to broader college reform initiatives. The authors of this review examined the community colleges' proposal narratives to understand the colleges' perceptions of veteran students' strengths and challenges, their current delivery of supports and suggestions for improving support services, and the relationship between their veteran services and broader reform efforts. The authors gained insights into what community college personnel believe are the key ways to improve support for their veteran students. The review explores strategies taken by the five awardee community colleges to better serve veteran students so that they feel more comfortable at college and are better able to persist and earn a credential. Policy recommendations are also provided. A summary version of the review is also available.

The Sociological Data Archive (SDA) was founded in 1998, & it is the only institution that systematically provides access to data files from quantitative sociological surveys. The main access to the data library is provided on the Internet. The SDA also pays great attention to promoting secondary analysis & the employment of existing data sources & cooperates in organizing large research projects, especially the Czech participation in the ISSP. The SDA is a member of the CESSDA (Council of European Social Science Data Archives). This also means that the Archive can mediate access to materials stored in other social science data archives in Europe. The full inclusion of the SDA's services into an international network is connected to the adoption of international standards (DDI, XML technology), which is planned for the future. In recent years two qualitative data archives have also been established, the Czech Archive of Qualitative Data & Documents & the Digital Archive of Soft Data MEDARD. The Czech Statistical Office provides data services in the field of official statistics.

First published in 1984, the title looks at the field of elderly care and domiciliary work from the perspective of social services. Starting with early influences that helped shape the development of Domiciliary Services, the author goes on to look at how the service has developed over the years and where it falls short.
