We present a radio wavelength study of OH maser lines toward 46 bright-rimmed clouds in search of star formation activity. Observations were made using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) Green Bank Telescope (GBT) at frequencies of ν = 1612 MHz, 1665 MHz, 1667 MHz, and 1721 MHz. This study yielded a low detection rate of OH masers toward these regions. OH masers are efficient tracers of young star formation, so this result is puzzling if the scenario of induced intermediateand high-mass star formation within these regions is correct. Further investigation is needed in order to determine the star forming nature of these bright-rimmed clouds.
