Audio cassettes raise new types of problems for special librarians. Confronted with sparse information about the media, the author, through trial and error, eventually produced basic guidelines and criteria for bibliographic control, storage, circulation, and material sources. These are described and workable solutions are presented. (5…

The establishment of a reference filing system, based on optical coincidence retrieval, for an eight-man research group studying gas reactions is described. The complete system is simple to use and gives rapid, precise reference retrieval. (1 reference) (Author)

Using recognition rather than recall test procedures gives results which are inconsistent with the main features of the visual trace model for short-term memory. (Author)

The search for an optimal decision strategy can be treated as a mathematical programming problem with linear objective function to be maximized over the convex set of certain functional space, provided one is willing to accept some ergodicity assumptions of the Markovian environment.

Discusses the present situation and future developments of scientific and technical information in terms of its generation, accumulation, transfer, unit costs, and processing technology. (CC)

Results suggest that Ss store some of the auditory and visual information in modality-dependent memory systems and that storage order determines recall accuracy. (Author)

Results showed that recall of verbal material hardly was affected by the eye-movement task but was much affected by backward counting, while nonverbal material was recalled with the same efficiency irrespective of type of distractor, suggesting different types of storage for the two types of material.

An English educator, reflecting on his tour of American schools, discusses some of the opportunities and problems presented by the new technology. (LS)

A general discussion of on-line procedures, batch and real-time updating, types of files and indexes, terminals, and the use of a general-purpose data management system as a vehicle for on-line operation is followed by an Appendix giving detailed information on each on the known systems.

This article focuses on storage models for libraries, first considering the Dewey classification system from this perspective and then summarizing more current research carried out under the direction of the author with a grant from the National Science Foundation. (33 references) (Author/NH)

Discusses a reading test using chunked" items -- groups of meaningfully related words in which certain groups are changed in meaning from the original passage. (Author)

Discusses storage of hazardous chemicals and provides a list of eight basic safety rules to use in developing a safe storage system. Suggestions include not storing materials alphabetically, storing nonreactive chemicals together, and not storing oxidizers and fuels together. (JN)
