Describes the general methodology of time and motion studies and reports the results of a study which used this methodology to compare digitization of images in a microcomputer environment with storage of images on microforms. (CLB)

This content analysis of library and information science (LIS) research from 1965 to 1985 was conducted to determine the distribution of topics in research articles and the research methodologies that have been used. Results indicated that information storage and retrieval was the most popular topic and that empirical strategies predominated. (20…

Addresses three specific problems in children's noun-pair learning: (a) the storage versus retrieval locus of the presentation-mode effect; (b) the storage versus retrieval locus of elaboration effects; and (c) assessment of the effects of congruence on elaborative facilitation. (Editor)

This project comprises the second year's work of a 3-year research plan to develop computer programs, necessary data, and procedures for using the computer in a special field of musicology known as thematic indexing, and to explore the use of these techniques in other areas of music. During the second year, the research centered on three areas:…

The purpose of the present experiment was to study storage properties of dual codes for pictures and words by manipulating instructions and to study retrieval properties by manipulating the representational form of the test items. (Author)

The author discusses information retrieval systems with particular emphasis on the assignment of descriptor terms. She first explains the method of determining terms by deriving key words from a title or abstract, a procedure that can often be carried out by a computer. After discussing the problems of derived indexing, the author explains the…

This paper details a step-by-step process for documenting university and college theatre history through the accession and preservation of materials. It offers advice for collecting materials; locating collections; handling materials; using R. Berner's "Manual for Accessing, Arrangement, and Description of Manuscripts and Archives";…

Describes a fast algorithm for comparing the lists of terms representing documents in automatic classification experiments. Complexity and running time for the algorithm are compared to other procedures, and a short algol-like routine is presented in the appendix. Eight references are included. (Author/BK)

Graduate students, tenured and tenure-track professors, and other professionals conduct scholarly research and have their findings published in recognized journals. Undergraduate and graduate students engage in rudimentary research to gather data relevant to case assignments in order to develop reasoned arguments. A focused literature review helps…

A major problem in doing linguistic research from tape-recorded material is finding specific tape content for later, detailed analysis of data. A project on use of language in medicine being carried out at the Cornell University Medical College has developed a method of cataloguing taped material that eliminates the need for transcriptions and…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
