Summers, Edward G.; And Others – Educational Technology, 1986
Describes evolution of an in-house database search service developed by University of British Columbia's Educational Research Services and Computing Center. The tryout phase in developing a model for downloading citations to serve end users as a beginning nucleus for use in microcomputer accessed personal information systems is highlighted. (MBR)

Peer reviewedDavis, R. H.; And Others – Online Review, 1982
A simulation model is developed to reflect characteristics of a typical information retrieval system on three specific microcomputer configurations using Cromemco System 3, Apple II, and Telima 1000. Systems are compared in terms of installation costs, think time, multiprogramming level, response time, and main storage utilization. Three…

Peer reviewedHickey, Thomas B.; Calabrese, Andrew M. – Library Hi Tech, 1986
Describes development of system for retrieval of documents from magnetic storage that uses stored font definition codes to control an inexpensive laser printer in the production of copies that closely resemble original document. Trends in information equipment and printing industries that will govern future application of this technology are…

Peer reviewedReddi, Arumalla V. – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Presents a system model for transmission of input data that is coming from terminals of users in a limited user resource-sharing environment. Performance of a mini/microcomputer receiving mixture of picture-phone terminal data is analyzed with constant service times, synchronous transmission, and single-server interruptions through first-order…
