Compiled at random from many sources, this bibliography attempts to cite as many publications concerning privacy and security as are available. The entries are organized under seven headings: (1) systems security, technical security, clearance of personnel, (2) corporate physical security, (3) administrative security, (4) miscellaneous--privacy…

The aim of this bibliography is to provide a guide to the diverse body of literature that deals with the "geographic or spatial characteristics" of the data elements and data items in each of the following five phases: (1) Specification, (2) Acquisition, (3) Processing, (4) Dissemination and (5) Application. It is intended to provide…

This bibliography attempts to pull together the land use methodology techniques that have been evolving in major transportation studies and developing in conventional planning agencies. In a commentary preceding the 83 references, the author discusses the state-of-the-art of land use methodology. The major components of a land use inventory are…

Based on material collected for system-automation studies within the efforts of the Linguistic Documentation Program toward development of a Language Information Network and Clearinghouse System (LINCS), the bibliography lists 216 references under the headings: (1) Survey, Reviews, Symposia (19 references); (2) File-organization Principles (18…

The main results of the survey-and-analysis stage include a substantial collection of preliminary data on the language-sciences information user community, its professional specialties and information channels, its indexing tools, and its terminologies. The prospects and techniques for the development of a modern, discipline-based information…

One hundred and fifty bibliographic entries, dealing with the subject of management information systems, are divided into sections for books and for periodicals. The latter section is further subdivided according to years of publication, although no attempt has been made to gather articles that appeared prior to 1969. (WM)

After a detailed study of the reserve processing activities of the Columbia University Library System, it was decided that an attempt to design a reserve system which would make the fullest use of computers would be undertaken. This would be an integrated system developed over a period of time in a series of clearly defined phases. Three different…

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO DEVELOP AN INSTRUCTIONAL AND SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, STRUCTURE, AND RESPONSIBILITIES FORM THE FRAMEWORK OF A MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM. THE TASK OF A MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IS TO PROCESS RAW DATA IN SUCH A WAY AS TO…

This collection of 22 papers from the Conference on Information in the Language Sciences held in Warrenton, Va., in 1966, sponsored by the Center for Applied Linguistics, stresses three themes: general trends, information needs of the languages sciences, and system design. Discussions attempt to formulate modern rational approaches to the complex…

Compares and contrasts two systems designed for library automation applications--NOTIS, which was developed in the United States, and DOBIS, which was developed in Europe. The differences in the systems are discussed in terms of the availability or absence of machine readable bibliographic sharing capacities in the countries of origin. (CLB)

A methodology is described for an automatic design system initially defined in terms of logical processes or program modules. Processes and files are grouped and reorganized in such a way as to produce an optimal design with respect to a specific target machine. Performance criteria for the optimal design are defined in terms of transport volume…

Concern is growing over the problems of freedom of information, individual right to privacy, and automated recordkeeping systems. As a guide to policy considerations for overview and for detail, this extensive structured bibliography of privacy and disclosure literature adopts a topical scheme, dividing the subject first into governmental and…

Batch mode processing is compared, using cost-effectiveness, with on-line processing for computer-aided searching of chemical abstracts. Consideration for time, need, coverage, and adaptability are found to be the criteria by which a searcher selects a method, and sometimes both methods are used. There is a tradeoff between batch mode's slower…

Measures, tools, and techniques applicable to the performance measurement of computer communication networks are described for technicians who procure computer services from a remote access network. Cost considerations are discussed as a major component of evaluation, and measurement and evaluation methodologies are surveyed. External measurement…
