Predictability of absolute data transaction for real time information and reduction of incalculable data delivery time are the major factors to lead the global education as well as economic system towards a paperless environment. Some universities such as the University of Phoenix, Western Governors University, UK Open University, University of…

A study was conducted in the School of Medical Technology at the University of Illinois to determine the relative learning effectiveness of lessons taught by means of computer assisted instruction (in this case, PLATO) versus lessons taught by means of paper copies adapted from the PLATO system. While the benefits of translating paper…

A study of methods for protecting the special collection at the University of Abilene (Texas) from fading and deterioration caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays showed that fluorescent light filters did not correct the problem. Leaders in the preservation field say that the removal of light is the best procedure to eliminate fading. A second choice is…

Suggests that algebra, geometry, and recent history can be combined in lessons pertaining to an ongoing, relevant controversy related to paper sizes. Early paper sizes, International Standards Organization (ISO) paper sizes, the "golden rectangle," and paper sizes in the United States are discussed. (JN)

Graphics help communicate the image of a publication and of the institution: good graphics gain the readers' attention, and good content gains their respect. Survey of readers, development of a content formula, format, cover, nameplate, typography, photographs, artwork, and paper and color choices are discussed. (MLW)
