Petrosko, Joseph M.; And Others – 1975
This paper deals with systems concepts, particularly those related to management information systems (MIS) as exemplified by the Center for the Study of Evaluation (CSE) Formative Evaluation Kit. The concept of MIS is in numerous ways more flexible than might be imagined from a cursory reading of the business-management literature. An MIS does not…

Chenhall, Robert G. – 1975
Several museum information processing systems are discussed in relation to their underlying assumptions regarding museum information and networking needs that have resulted in inadequate service to some kinds of museums, particularly historical museums. Rather than any of these systems, a modular approach is proposed that would allow each museum…

Davison, P. S. – Information Scientist, 1972
Broad coverage is essential to the effectiveness of information services. This paper criticizes the misleading claims made regarding computer-based systems in this context. It describes the Scientific Documentation Centre's services, the basis on which its resources are allocated, and the criteria for selection of operating techniques and…

Hayman, John L., Jr. – 1971
A major concern in planning for and beginning the operation of the National Institute of Education is the organization's management information system (MIS). The kind of MIS needed by NIE is referred to in the literature as a "fourth generation" system--one which focuses on the decision process and which is developed in terms of maximum…

Etnyre, Vance A. – 1970
Information systems developed to support university planning must be designed to insure that all planning needs can be met. Only highly flexible, highly integrated information systems can meet current planning requirements. Such systems should be designed in a modular fashion and employ user-oriented languages to select and combine the system…

Eisenberg, Michael – 1984
Curriculum administration and evaluation require specific information on such curriculum components as content, time, teaching methodology, materials, evaluation, and scheduling. Without such information, planning, coordination, resources allocation, and other decision-making activities are severely handicapped. Furthermore, evaluation of the…

Klausner, David – 1976
More emphasis should be placed on "human factors" in the management information systems (MIS). They should be tailored to their users--the administrators, faculty, and students. Easy communication with an information system is a basic necessity, just as is the ability to get simpler answers to the most complex questions. All levels of…

Pierson, Ellery M.; West, Charles – 1974
A feedback system for reporting individual pupil variables; classroom, school, and districtwide summaries was designed. The system utilized optically scanned forms which produced input files for report production. The system was designed so that the numbers and types of variables were fixed, but that the content of the variables was completely…
