For the next ten years, at least, it would almost certainly be prohibitively expensive for a student to receive a major part of each day's instruction in a direct individual dialogue with a computer. Furthermore such a system would not teach a student to interact effectively with other humans, to communicate the results of his labors to others, or…

The Vocational Education Act of 1963 triggered the development of a number of computer based guidance projects. However a great majority of these projects have never been transplanted for field testing. Field implementation is essential in order to evaluate the systems and to provide information services which are lacking in many traditional…

For each of the over 120 sources of computer searches identifies in the document the following information is listed: name and complete address, population served, files available, how to submit an inquiry, form of search…

In presenting the state of the art of the computer in guidance programs, it is maintained that there are many potential uses for computers in career decision making. Four types of computer-involved guidance systems were in use in 1970: indirect inquiry systems, direct inquiry systems without system monitoring, direct inquiry with system…

A study was made of the feasibility of establishing a computerized regional information system. Existing systems were reviewed, and the location of the system was discussed. The system's structure was described. A cost benefit analysis looked into capital costs and operating costs. A cooperative system was found to be feasible, based on…

In 1972 there were 33,000 Telex installations in the United Kingdom with 240,000 predicted by 1983. The feasibility of using these Telex systems for on-line accession of computer based information systems was investigated in this report. Comparisons between the Telex system and the Teletypewriter or Teleprinter system now in use reveal that the…
