Evans, Richard M.; Reed, Robert W. – 1989
Military training information is not available from a single, well-structured electronic source. It typically exists in multiple formats created by multiple software products, usually incompatible. The training analyst thus has the job of collecting that which is available and converting it to a format that can be processed by existing software.…

Carr, Clay – Educational Technology, 1988
Describes hypertext, a significantly different form of data retrieval, and gives an example of how it might be used in computer-based training. Hypertext software is discussed, including TextPro and KnowledgePro; the relationship between hypertext and expert systems is explored; and a hypertext document, PC-Hypertext, is described. (LRW)

Donham, Jean – Journal of Youth Services in Libraries, 1989
Outlines the factors that should be considered when planning to incorporate microcomputers into the library setting. These include the function of the microcomputer (recreation, instruction, and information retrieval); criteria for software selection (technical and instructional criteria); and the formation of policies and procedures for…

Harris, Jeanette; And Others – Writing Program Administration, 1989
Argues that it is the responsibility of writing program administrators to determine computers' role in writing instruction. Explores three ways in which computers significantly affect writing instruction: (1) dialogue and collaboration among students increase; (2) students' access to information increases; and (3) the perception and creation of…

Aversa, Elizabeth – School Library Media Activities Monthly, 1991
Suggests ways that the school library media specialist can help students become more successful as users of online information. Four types of barriers to becoming informed are described: (1) indicative access barriers (indexing systems and relevance); (2) physical access to documents identified in a search; (3) linguistic barriers; and (4)…
