RCAP Publications

The RCAP network produces a variety of resources in different forms - print, electronic and video, as well as highlighting resources that other organizations or agencies produce that are helpful and useful to small, rural communities. These resources are meant to reach and address various audiences, including residents of rural communities where RCAP is working, utility managers, operators, board members, RCAP field staff, RCAP funding agencies, policy makers, and members of Congress. The main RCAP resources are a series of printed guides produced in 2011 on a variety of topics, A Drop of Knowledge newsletter, and the Rural Matters magazine.

A Drop of Knowledge
