Trends in Education Data Bases: Present and Future Applications and Capabilities.
Roberts, John R.
This paper discusses the present situation regarding national data bases (particularly, ERIC, EDSTAT II, and NEDL) in higher education. Topics include availability of data, methods of retrieval, and uses made of the retrieved data. Also discussed are trends which will greatly enhance the uses of data bases, including: (1) a computerized cataloging system for classification of data elements; (2) a modular retrieval system; (3) increasing reliance on microfiche; and (4) computer graphics. Some of these techniques have already been developed; others are still in the process. (Author/DAG)
