A detailed example of a computerized accounts receivable system is presented to point out the development of concern with computer input and output in the accounting office. (TA)

Describes the soon-to-be-established National Resource for Computation in Chemistry (NRCC), a user-oriented, federally supported computing center for chemists. Discusses probable funding, staffing and organization, data bases, and the priorities of chemical topics to be serviced. (MLH)

This report provides guidance and documentation for users of the public release for the combined base-year and first follow-up data of the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002). It provides extensive documentation of the content of the data files and how to access and manipulate them. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to ELS:2002. It…

This report examines college enrollment of students working and/or attending public postsecondary institutions in Texas for the Austin Independent School District (AISD) for the 1997-1998 senior cohort. College enrollment percentages of former students are presented as one indicator of AISD's success in preparing students for the future. The…

This chapter is concerned with introducing and explaining the tools provided to the educational manager for interacting with the MISOE system and provided serveral examples of the interaction process, being essentially geared towards demonstrating how this process might work. (Author/RK)

If administration digs into the question, it will find that more money rarely provides the answer to problems in the data processing department. A decision flow-chart, shown in an accompanying diagram, is discussed emphasizing preparation delay, computer time, matters of priority, and usable product. (Author/JF)

This paper describes development of a MARC serials format union catalog of serials called the Minnesota Union List of Serials (MULS). (2 references) (Author)

The BIBCON file management system, designed for use on IBM 360 system equipment, performs two basic functions: (1) it creates MARC structured, bibliographic records from untagged input data; (2) from these records it produces page image output for book catalogs. (7 references) (Author)

A comprehensive automated bibliographic control system has been developed by the New York Public Library. This system is unique in its use of an automated authority system and highly sophisticated machine filing algorithms. (23 references) (Authors)

The techniques of search strategy design for substructure searches of the Wiswesser Line Notation (WLN) file are described in detail. The Index Chemicus Registry System'' was used. (13 references) (Author/SM)

The experiences in developing current awareness services for selective dissemination of information from Chemical Abstracts'' Condensates data base are described. File standardization, the weighted-term method of searching, and the algorithm used to perform the search on the CDC 6600 computer and a user survey are discussed. (2 references)…

A computer system, named CORA, has been devised for coding chemical structures by fragmentation elements. It has been used to encode Markush formulas in patents according to the Ring codes used in the Ringdoc and Pestdoc services and results in an easy, speedy, reliable and inexpensive method.

The set reduction algorithm is based on set theory and Boolean algebra rather than the graph-theoretic approach. Time trials with a small file of organic chemical structures indicate that the algorithm can be economically used for substructure (or complete structure) sequential searches on a file containing 30,000-50,000 computer-coded structures.…
