The handbook was designed to serve as a job scheduling guide and general reference for the data control section of the Southern University Computer Center (SUCC). A description of the computer operations service procedure at Southern University is provided. For each computer job catalogued and inventoried by the SUCC, a summary page is included…

A listing of organizations providing computer searches of the ERIC data base. (JH)

The boundary between two neighboring rings is called the fusion lines, which is enclosed by external segments called arcs. In the code, the separation of fusion line(s) from arcs takes place in such a way that proper matching is achieved. By this procedure, the structure of a compound is recreated. (Author)

INTX is an interactive programing and debugging system operating under UCLA's URSA interactive console system. Although originally designed as a debugging aid for interactive processor development, the addition of an on-line Assembler makes it a programing system in its own right. INTX operates only on the Computer Communications 301 graphics…

Outlines the essential details of a computer network protocol at the application level for interchanging information between host computers in the community of libraries, book publishers, and bibliographic service centers. Control header structure is detailed, and a skeleton outline is given for 20 header field types and 15 control message types.…

An administrative computer users' advisory committee is a useful method for determining automation long-range plans, set priorities and review results. (IR)

An architectural computer system was developed using modern small scale computers, to ease the interaction and conflict within the design team during the design process. The original proposal included an information file, a mathematical building model, and a subsystems (electrical, cost estimating, etc.) model. Due to unanticipated problems, the…

Discusses ethical, legal, scientific, and technological considerations affecting the confidentiality of information in data systems. (JF)

The four primary functional areas served by a word processor are discussed. They are data entry, data storage and file manipulation, text editing, and reporting. (MP)

This report describes the development and operation of BARDS, the Bucknell Automated Retrieval and Display System, an online bibliographic access system for a selected section of the collection at the Ellen Clarke Bertrand Library. This system was used by the Bucknell University community from June 1974 through January 1975; further development…

The unclassified and unlimited bibliography compiles references dealing specifically with the role of computers in information sciences. The volume contains 239 annotated references grouped under three major headings: Artificial and Programming Languages, Computer Processing of Analog Data, and Computer Processing of Digital Data. The references…

Much of the power of the "information center" comes from its ability to effectively use fourth-generation productivity tools to provide information processing services. A case study of the use of these tools at Western Michigan University is presented. (Author/MLW)

Article describes how badge input and data collection terminals raise productivity and support new library services at the University of Maryland. (HB)
