Schipma, Peter B. – 1976
Two programs addressed the development of information retrieval systems useful to a variety of users. One program was designed to examine aspects of indexing and information display. Experiments with different indexing and display systems revealed that for good relevance judgements, a display with full citation, keyboards, and abstract is…

Nerheim, Rosalee – 1979
The Music Information System for Theorists (MIST) allows musicians to find pedagogical music excerpts with ease and speed. Users may search for excerpts using as keys composer, date, and/or musical concept exhibited. The desired excerpts are printed in conventional music notation or output in MUSTRAN code via the Indiana University Computer Music…

Gawaldo, Rich; Schlueter, Betsy – 1979
Modeled on public databases such as Lockheed and SDC, the information system described in this report was utilized in the creation of in-house databases in the Mobay Chemical Corporation's special library in Pittsburgh. Using IBM's Storage and Information Retrieval System (STAIRS), Mobay created two databases: one to hold product information, the…

Klingensmith, Patricia J. – 1980
The University of Pittsburgh has developed software that stresses the teaching of systems rather than databases and replicates the language, formats, and search capabilities of the DIALOG, ORBIT, and BRS systems. Using a DEC 11/780 computer and samples of more than 60 databases, the University has successfully emulated the parent systems. A…

Sands, William A. – 1978
The Computer Assisted Reference Locator (CARL) is a computer-based information retrieval system which uses coordinate indexing. Objectives established in designing the system are: (1) simplicity of reference query and retrieval; (2) ease of system maintenance; and (3) adaptability for alternative computer systems. The source documents input into…

Beale, Joel A.; Jacobson, Charles – 1975
A library specialist and a computer specialist were asked to collaborate to solve the problem of a growing and diversified in-house, technical library in a diversified agribusiness organization. A computer program was written to: (1) generate alphabetical catalogs of collections; (2) index documents by uniterms; and (3) to retrieve documents by…

McKenna, Michael C. – 1977
This paper reports on a computer simulation of cloze retrieval tasks. It first outlines the ideas that were assembled and translated into the model used to compose the simulation and describes the method used in developing the simulation. It then reports on a comparison of the time required by a computer and by human subjects in responding to…

Regazzi, John J. – 1975
The Carolina Population Institute off-line system which searches a data base drawn from its library holdings and POPINFORM--an on-line system containing a number of data bases from both university and government organizations--are described. The development of these automated information retrieval systems from a disjoint manual system among a…

Ganz, Carole – 1976
Several current projects aim to improve the use of scientific and technical information by increasing research on the education of users, by upgrading instructional materials which teach the use of such information, and by increasing user motivation. Some projects attempt to increase motivation by incorporating literature searches into the…

Schuegraf, Ernst J. – 1975
A description of a retrospective document retrieval system is given in which equifrequent fragments are used as language elements for compression coding and retrieval. The critical parameters governing the system are identified, and restrictions imposed by the parameters on the selection of fragments are outlined. Changes necessary in the…

Camp, William G. – 1983
This conference presentation outlines some of the important factors for teachers to consider when selecting software and hardware to be used as teaching tools in the vocational education classroom and as a means for teaching about the occupational applications of microcomputers. Addressed in a discussion of methods and criteria for evaluating…
