Examines the hypothesis that first, third, and sixth graders' recall of noun triplets would be facilitated by using (1) related pictures of nouns, (2) training in imagining relations between separate pictures of nouns, and (3) a combination of these two processes. (DP)

English has become the primary language of most information retrieval tools. This makes it almost impossible for the non-English speaking world to take advantage of American abstracting and indexing services. One solution to this problem is to use the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) as a switching language. (Author/DH)

The evolution of Petroleum Abstracts,'' which was started in 1961, is described. The various methods used for retrieving are discussed. (5 references) (SM)

Groups trained to compare the whole and subset improved in cue identification from negative instances; performance in the stimulus exposure group declined. (Authors)

Describes the necessity of information processing and dissemination in the present development of scientific knowledge. Indicates that training programs are available at Sheffield and City Universities and Leeds Polytechnic. (CC)

Purpose of the present experiment was to investigate further the free recall of bilingually mixed lists as well as to look at the possibility of negative transfer when Ss are asked to learn a subset of the items which is made up of only one of the two languages previously presented. (Authors)

The user indicated several changes in library use habits as a result of the computer-based searches, among them more direct access to the primary literature and increased use of library resources as they had been made aware of new sources and media--e.g., microforms. (2 references) (Author/NH)

Free recall showed a drop in primacy with practice whereas reconstruction did not, which suggests that temporal tags per se may be relatively unimportant as retrieval cues for the recall of early list members. (Authors)

Construction planning, vocabulary base development, and term analysis and grouping are the main subjects treated in this paper. (NH)

A transformational model offers a way to eliminate the middleman (programmer) in acccessing a computerized data base. It provides a basis for the algorithms which analyze the input query. The linguistic analysis of the sentence string is translated into system terms and the required operations are carried out. (28 references) (Author/NH)

Computerization seems to offer some solutions to the inadequacies of the card catalog. However, vocabulary obstacles must be overcome before the history, art history, and art students alike can enter libraries all over the world and quickly satisfy their various needs. (10 references) (Author/NH)

Describes a physical facilities information retrieval system that correlates new school construction with student enrollment. (MF)

It was concluded that pictures are encoded differently depending on task expectation. Parallel access of visual and semantic memory codes occurs; but when recognition is expected, a visual cue provides faster access, and when expecting recall, verbal access is more efficient. (Author)

Results indicate that Ss expectancy for a given test stimulus probability, has its effect on the encoding or decision stage of the memory-scanning process. (Authors)
