Addresses single-user microcomputer systems and information processing applications normally performed through use of data management, spreadsheet, word processing, business graphics, and communications software. Both hardware and software considerations are included with an emphasis on hardware once appropriate application software-level packages…

Description of the Optical Disk Pilot Program of the Library of Congress defines characteristics and differences between analog videodisks and optical digital disk technology. Benefits of the optical digital disk, material selection, and the system configuration (bibliographic indexing, document preparation and input scanning, image and record…

Offers suggestions for storing and handling records efficiently and economically at educational institutions. (JG)

Using an in-depth review of the literature and the author's own personal experience, this paper attempts to distill the eight best practices of those undertaking digitization projects. Results are intended specifically to assist special librarians undertaking a digitization effort in a corporate setting, but conclusions could equally apply to the…

This paper describes a technical document center providing remote-terminal retrospective search capability and shows its evolution from the traditional catalog card operation. (2 references) (Author)

The mini-computer is found to be a viable alternative to large computer bio-medical information processing. (Author/RS)

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)
