An installation at the University of California at San Diego is one of three systems used to illustrate the flexibility of computerized control systems. (Author/MLF)

Administrators are relying increasingly on computer technology. (Editor)

By cooperating with a nearby data center, an adequate number of keypunch machines were available for offering instruction in both day and evening classes. (CH)

This discussion of the general principles of structure and construction of numeric databases introduces the concept of data points, their relationship to each other, and their storage in a nonredundant way. The collection of numeric data and their integration into the database structure are explained. Eight references are cited. (EJS)

Outlines an introductory computer literacy course that focuses on the business data processing cluster. The course provides a general understanding of data processing history, applications, equipment, systems, people, and procedures. (SK)

Proposes a microprocessor-based architecture that makes large use of parallelism both in processing and in retrieval operations. The proposed system consists of three functional blocks: the query processor, simple query executers, and the answer composer. Twenty-one references are listed. (FM)

Describes a course in information processing which combines word processing (WP) and date processing (DP). The purpose of the course is to make students aware that WP and DP should not work in isolation but together for the common good of the organization. (JOW)

Describes a data processing exercise for social studies in the primary grades. Students create a histogram out of building blocks to represent the number of siblings in their families. Pictures of men, women, boys, and girls are used to construct a pictorial graph of the number of adults and children in students' families. (AM)

An encoding approach was designed to track developmentally disabled clients through a continuum of services in a service delivery system. After four years of use, the reliability of the encoding system was evaluated and found to be an effective means of tracking clients through a service delivery system. (Author/JKS)

Discusses philosophy, facts, and opinions regarding the definition of computer literacy; presents suggested computer literacy course content; and recommends delivery systems or methodologies that can be used for instructional purposes. (Author)

There has been very little discussion of the issues in developing an occupational card sort despite the growing interest in this technique.
