This document presents basic conceptual components associated with the development and implementation of a college information system at Freed-Hardeman College. Section one presents the rationale for college information systems and establishes the need for improving information systems. The major characteristics essential to the design and…

The Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) is revising and enhancing its data-processing capabilities with the development of a large-scale, multi-site, on-line, integrated data base information system known as the Advanced Logistics System (ALS). A data integrity program is to be built around a Data Base Manager (DBM), an individual or a group of…

Describes Reflink, a system based on sophisticated information retrieval techniques which is housed in a small microcomputer, and its predecessor, Reference Librarian Enhancement System (REFLES). The systems are placed in a conceptual framework involving stable and dynamic information, and several illustrations of multiple uses are presented. Four…

Describes ongoing project to automate production of 26 indexes and catalogs produced by H. W. Wilson Company through use of the BEACON system and its online screen-edit program, SCREED. System objectives, system architecture, specifications, components (data entry, validation, release, file generation, retrieval, publication, photocomposition,…

Describes a versatile, inexpensive information system using microcomputers and television sets which enables Indiana University Northwest to relay information for students to different sites simultaneously and to update information quickly and easily. Illustrates how to set up the hardware, discusses programing, and includes the actual program…

Topics which range from the more popular computing applications in accounting, statistics, and administration to the less ordinary applications of the computer to the fields of fine arts, medicine, and linguistics, are discussed in this collection of 22 conference papers. The papers are divided into four tracks: the first deals with statistical…

A list of computer competencies developed by Houston Independent School District's Department of Technology is provided as a framework for training teachers in instructional applications of computers. (MJL)

This paper describes the development of textual information displays for home consumption on modified television receivers in Great Britain over the last few years, compares two systems in use there--Teletext and Viewdata--and discusses some future possibilities for such services in the U.S. as well as the U.K. British television equipment…

This document describes the Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) Automated Budget System (CABS), which was developed by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group (TAEG) to provide an efficient, easy means of handling the large volume of data necessary to produce budget documents. A guide provided for Naval Education and Training Command…

SPIRES (Stanford Public Information Retrieval System) is a computerized information storage and retrieval system intended for use by students and faculty members who have little knowledge of computers but who need rapid and sophisticated retrieval and analysis. The functions and capabilities of the system from the user's point of view are…

The development of information systems using an engineering approach employing both traditional programming techniques and nonprocedural languages is described. A fourth generation application tool is used to develop a prototype system that is revised and expanded as the user clarifies individual requirements. When fully defined, a combination of…

This bibliography is divided into three general categories: (1) information storage and retrieval theory; (2) computer-based systems in education; and (3) computer-based systems in guidance and counseling. The latter comprises, by far, the bulk of the bibliography and contains general works, monographs, periodicals, micro-prints, government…

The document describes the implementation (Phase Two) of the Vocational Educational module--one component of an educational management information system. Phase Two entails the technical effort of final system design, final output specifications, edit specifications, system software selection, computer programing, systems documentation and the…

Outlined here is a province-wide computer system that brings benefits to both schools and students. (Editor)

The Voice Interactive Analysis System study continued research and development of the LISTEN real-time, minicomputer based connected speech recognition system, within NAVTRAEQUIPCEN'S program of developing automatic speech technology in support of training. An attempt was made to identify the most effective features detected by the TTI-500 model…
