Describes three computer programs that have been used to produce indexes, guides, and bibliographies for a university library: Interact, Script, and the Keyword in Context Package. The advantages and disadvantages of using the computer to produce such materials are reviewed, and nine references are listed. (RAA)

In surveying the problems of documenting computer-based instruction, the need for two levels of documentation is outlined: one concise level designed primarily to catalog available courseware; and a second detailed level intended for the instructors, proctors, programmers, and operators. Three general approaches are considered: manual procedures,…

This paper describes a computer-assisted printed index which provides expanded subject access to the more than 6000 titles in the Iowa State University Library reference collection. Designed to complement existing catalogs with a minimum of duplication of information, the index displays abbreviated length records. The limitations of subject access…

Costing principles are applied to a university by estimating unit costs and their component factors for the university's different inputs, activities, and outputs. The information system used is designed for Fribourg University but could be applicable to other Swiss universities and could serve Switzerland's universities policy. In general, it…

The management of change, with implications for a systems approach to administration, is examined in terms of the uses made of technological and methodological devices. Institutions now have machinery that can present data useful in decision making in a variety of formats; which can build models for expenditure, for student and faculty…
