Two computer programs (one batch, one interactive) are designed to provide statistics for a weighted linear combination of several component variables. Both programs provide mean, variance, standard deviation, and a validity coefficient. (Author/JKS)

The computerized program which is described is designed to score and analyze multiple-choice examinations, providing prompt and detailed testing information. (RAO)

This chapter is concerned with introducing and explaining the tools provided to the educational manager for interacting with the MISOE system and provided serveral examples of the interaction process, being essentially geared towards demonstrating how this process might work. (Author/RK)

This paper describes development of a MARC serials format union catalog of serials called the Minnesota Union List of Serials (MULS). (2 references) (Author)

The BIBCON file management system, designed for use on IBM 360 system equipment, performs two basic functions: (1) it creates MARC structured, bibliographic records from untagged input data; (2) from these records it produces page image output for book catalogs. (7 references) (Author)

A comprehensive automated bibliographic control system has been developed by the New York Public Library. This system is unique in its use of an automated authority system and highly sophisticated machine filing algorithms. (23 references) (Authors)

A formula is given that enables one to determine the parameters for amortizing an information system within a year. The formula is illustrated with three mechanized information systems for patents. The most critical parameter is shown to be indexing time. (7 references) (Author/NH)

Describes the structure, availability, and use of a computer program designed for a wide variety of data of curvefitting and equation-solving problems, including both linear and non-linear problems. (PR)

The administrative user services instituted at Loyola University of Chicago, which provides administrators with immediate access to computing at low cost, is described. After preliminary training and file initialization, users are responsible for their own data processing. (Author/MLW)

Discusses the multilevel information system (MLIS), a retrieval system that integrates functions typical for database management systems and retrieval-oriented systems and provides several levels of data accessing, each developed for a different class of users. Twenty-two sources are cited. (FM)

Cherry Creek (Colorado) and Los Angeles (California) school districts are using microcomputers linked to central computers to process student data. (Author)

The internal processes of microcomputer functioning are explained. Components include: (1) a central processing unit; (2) memories which store programs and data; (3) a clock which determines the order in which a computer performs its operations; (4) a bus consisting of receptacles for additional installations; (5) interfaces which connect the…

Describes a scheduling algorithm that continuously recomputes the conflict potential between courses and uses this information when it selects the next section to be scheduled and the meeting times at which the section is scheduled. (Author)
