The handbook was designed to serve as a job scheduling guide and general reference for the data control section of the Southern University Computer Center (SUCC). A description of the computer operations service procedure at Southern University is provided. For each computer job catalogued and inventoried by the SUCC, a summary page is included…

The emphasis of the eleventh meeting of the Panel on Science and Technology was on the management of information and knowledge. It was organized essentially as a seminar with two papers given at each session. The topic of the first two papers presented was: "Computers, Communications, and the Economy." The papers given at the second session were…

A special document, published separately from the complete proceedings of the eleventh meeting of the Panel on Science and Technology, is justified because the papers presented discuss the impact of the rapid development of the computer and the revolution in communication technology upon our society. This impact is critically examined by 10…

A comprehensive, unannotated listing of important English language materials about, or related to, Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC), from the King report up to October 1969. Citations of a few materials published later have been added because of their considerable and primary interest. News notes which are repetitive and of little value when the…

This paper provides a review of computer typesetting in the United Kingdom with an emphasis on the use of data originating from a computer rather than from a printing environment. It explains the need for an alternative to the computer line-printer when large amounts of data are being processed, and the effect of new techniques on the printing…

The development of the removal of rigidity in library classification is traced from the Enumerative Classification of DC (1876) through the Nearly-Faceted Classification of UDC (1896), the rigidly, though fully faceted version of CC (1933), the generalized faceted structure of version 2 of CC (1949), down to the Freely Faceted Classification of…

A generalized Keynesian "general equilibrium" model, derived largely from macropolitical considerations, is presented. (Author)

Describes the Probabilistic Relational Universal Fuzzy (PRUF), a relation-manipulating language which serves the purposes of: (1) precisiation of expressions in a natural language; (2) exhibiting their logical structure; and (3) providing a system for the characterization of the meaning of a proposition by acting on a collection of fuzzy relations…

Reports the results of a study of cataloging records input into the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC) data base by participating libraries (non-MARC records). The records were analyzed to determine the various fields where most errors occur, as well as the types of cataloging errors. (Author/VT)

Several approaches to problem solving are reviewed, followed by a brief overview of simulation, including its definition and some of the strong and weak points of the literature. It is argued that simulation is itself a problem-solving endeavor and that justifying the heuristic use of simulation requires evidence that it fosters general…

Reports an experiment in which verbalized tape-recorded searches on five subject indexes reveal the linguistic processing taking place. Extracts from the search transcriptions are given, and the search processing modes of seeking, scanning, and screening are discussed. (Author/KP)

Responds to Heppner and Krauskopf's article on an information processing approach to personal problem solving by presenting shortcomings in the approach, notably its failure to fully exploit the available information processing concepts to reconceptualize personal problem solving specifically or counseling in general. Nonetheless, sees the…

This article specifies some basic considerations regarding information processing and perception and suggests two related considerations when attempting to provide for learning. (Author)

Library text production and information retrieval applications require a programing language with string processing facilities. The most useful languages are SNOBOL, COMIT APL and PL/1. (Author/LS)

Measures of visual information processing in dyslexic and normal children were compared. Significant differences were found between dyslexics and normals at early stages of visual information processing. (ST)
