Ostry, Bernard – Canadian Library Journal, 1980
Encourages Canadian librarians to be in the forefront of technological change to ensure that libraries continue to serve the information needs of the people. It is noted that the information process represents power, and librarians are among those best situated to effect its wise and beneficial use. (RAA)

Wellisch, Hans H. – UNESCO Journal of Information Science, Librarianship and Archives Administration, 1980
Advocates the use of machine readable codes to accomplish romanization and promote the exchange of bibliographic data. Proposals are presented for transliteration standards, design of machine readable conversion codes, and the establishment of databases. (RAA)
Descriptors: Cataloging, Data Processing, Databases, Information Processing

Gersten, Russell M. – Journal of Special Education, 1980
A critical review of the literature indicates that overselective attention: (1) is not limited to autistic children, (2) may be only one of several developmental lags these children display, and (3) may or may not be strongly correlated with children's language abilities and general intellectual abilities. (Author)
Descriptors: Attention, Autism, Cognitive Processes, Information Processing

Madnick, Stuart E. – Science, 1977
Discusses the structure of classical computer-based information systems, recent advances in both computer hardware and software, and the evolution of information utilities. (MLH)
Descriptors: Computers, Electronic Equipment, Electronics, Information Processing

Porter, Lawrence – British Journal of Psychology, 1976
Investigates the differences between rehearsal span and memory span and evaluates the research of Dalrymple-Alford (1967) on the part of rehearsal on reinforcing memory traces. (Author/RK)
Descriptors: Charts, Experiments, Information Processing, Memory

Schauble, Leona – Developmental Psychology, 1996
Investigated the development of scientific reasoning in the context of self-directed experimentation. Subjects were fifth and sixth graders and noncollege adults. Found that neither valid strategies nor correct beliefs alone was sufficient to guarantee success, suggesting that regarding experimentation either as domain-general induction or as…

Strickland, Lee S. – Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Considers the legal response to terrorism following the September 11th attacks and questions whether American intelligence and law enforcement are positioned to protect the public in an effective manner. Highlights include the business of intelligence; the collection of information; use of technology; the need to improve information sharing; and…

Macfarlane, A.; And Others – Journal of Documentation, 1997
Reviews the progress of parallel computing in information retrieval (IR) and stresses the importance of the motivation in using parallel computing for text retrieval. Analyzes parallel IR systems using a classification defined by Rasmussen; describes retrieval models used in parallel information processing; and suggests areas of needed research.…
Descriptors: Classification, Information Processing, Information Retrieval, Models

Howard, Paul G.; Vitter, Jeffrey Scott – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Analyzes the amount of compression possible when arithmetic coding is used for text compression in conjunction with various input models. Algorithms are analyzed; modeling effects are considered; scaling is discussed; higher order models are examined, including prediction by partial matching; and coding effects are described. (34 references) (LRW)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Coding, Computation, Information Processing

Sawada, Daiyo – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1991
Argues that educational theory and practice are dominated by a language frame that structures thought and practice into an input-output form. Outlines an alternative view of reflection and recursion based on the conversation postulate. A conversation is a system of mutually interacting components. Each component "perturbs" other…

Rayward, W. Boyd – Information Processing and Management, 1994
Discussion of providing access to needed information focuses on five historical schemes that represent speculative approaches to solving the problem of restructuring and mobilizing the content of documents. The collection, analysis, and restructuring of information already available in some other form and the need for an information professional…

Nurius, Paula S. – Social Work, 1994
Draws on architecture and operation of human memory to better specify self-concept form and functioning. Translates these major components and processes of memory system into practice implications for targets and methods of change: declarative knowledge versus procedural knowledge, storage memory versus working memory, and role of sensory…

Hwang, Mark I.; Lin, Jerry W. – Journal of Information Science, 1999
A meta-analysis of 31 experiments reported in 18 empirical bankruptcy prediction studies was conducted to test the effect of two information dimensions: information diversity and information repetitiveness. Results indicated that both information dimensions have an adverse impact on decision quality: provision of either diverse or repeated…
Descriptors: Decision Making, Information Dissemination, Information Processing, Meta Evaluation

Hong, Jacky – Learning Organization, 1999
The learning organization concept tends to assume homogeneity of thinking, ignoring differences among individual members. The processes of transferring soft and hard knowledge may not be the same. Alternative organizational structures such as team, circular, or "hypertext" are needed for effective knowledge management and organizational…
