Mills, Lane – Technology & Learning, 2008
School systems face many decisions in developing and maintaining learning environments that create success for all students. From district operations to the classroom, district leaders implement solutions and take action based on the information they have at hand. While there is no shortage of data, turning that data into useful information is as…

Boja, Catalin – Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods, 2006
There are described methods used to minimize data files dimension. There are defined indicators for measuring size of files and databases. The storage optimization process is based on selecting from a multitude of data storage models the one that satisfies the propose problem objective, maximization or minimization of the optimum criterion that is…

TAGUE, JEAN – 1963
REQUIREMENTS OF A PILOT INFORMATION SERVICE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH WERE INVESTIGATED BY ISOLATING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DOCUMENTS JUDGED RELEVANT BY QUESTIONERS (USERS). IN ADDITION, RETRIEVAL STRATEGIES WERE COMPARED ON THE BASIS OF THE RELEVANCE AND RECALL FACTORS FOR EACH STRATEGY. THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS WERE REACHED--(1) IN PROGRAMING…

Wooster, Harold – 1969
An informal survey of microfiche users was conducted by correspondence, resulting in over 300 letters. Industrial libraries led all others in their acceptance of fiche, with a ratio of 2:1 in favor. Half of the individual users despised fiche; 25% liked it with some reservations and 25% were strongly in favor. Half of those who liked fiche had…

Salton, Gerard – 1969
Several algorithms were investigated which would allow a user to interact with an automatic document retrieval system by requesting relevance judgments on selected sets of documents. Two viewpoints were taken in evaluation. One measured the movement of queries toward the optimum query as defined by Rocchio; the other measured the retrieval…

GOLDWYN, A.J.; AND OTHERS – 1966
A THESAURUS OF EDUCATIONAL TERMS WAS PRODUCED TO PROVIDE A TERMINOLOGY BASE WHICH WOULD BE AMENABLE TO RAPID AND EASY MODIFICATION AND UPDATING. THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF TERMS WAS A SEMANTIC CODE DICTIONARY, PREVIOUSLY CREATED DURING THE INDEXING OF SOME 6,500 EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH DOCUMENTS. A FACETED STRUCTURE WAS CREATED. THE DISPLAY CONSISTED OF…
