Abstract	In the sparsely populated 100,000 square miles of South Dakota and adjacent areas in Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota, a program (Project TAPE: Tactics for Applying Programs in Education) for disseminating information about elementary science curricula was funded by the National Science Foundation. Six part-time regional consultants were selected to be field representatives of the project. Regional consultants responded to requests for consultation from school districts and other responsible groups and individuals. The efficacy of using part-time regional consultants was measured in two dimensions, cost effectiveness and reception and perceived effectiveness by users. The cost for using part-time consultants that are strategically located was found to be one-half that of centrally located personnel. Data collected by questionnaire sent to persons requesting services revealed that only 7.2% of the respondents expressed a negative opinion about the assistance provided by the consultants. (CS)
