Sonnichsen, Richard C. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1989
Evaluators must use a flexible, open-minded approach oriented toward a holistic view of the implementation and operation of the program they are analyzing. The use of more than one methodology expands the potential findings and avoids the limitations of a unidimensional approach. (SLD)

Fein, Edith; And Others – Evaluation Practice, 1993
The utilization of program evaluation is addressed and illustrated through the case study of a family reunification program at a New England child welfare agency.
