de Regt, W. F. – 1974
This paper on Thesauri in Educational Documentation attempts to show by description and analysis the difference in application between thesauri and classification schemes as indexing languages in documentary information systems, and from this to infer possible future developments. First, the differences between the pre-coordination and…

Egeland, Jan; Foreman, Gertrude – 1973
The Bio-Medical Library at the University of Minnesota has access to two on-line computer systems: the MEDLINE system (MEDLARS ON-LINE) of the National Library of Medicine and the State University of New York (SUNY) Biomedical Communication Network. MEDLINE consists of two files which provide coverage of the "Index Medicus" from 1970 to…

Gadway, Charles J. – 1973
As part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress on reading, this volume reflects the theme of reference materials. Divided into subthemes, the first requires the individual to know appropriate reference sources, since reference sources are best utilized when an individual knows which type of reference to consult for a specific kind of…

Gosser, Jon; And Others – 1973
The application of a well-known and fairly simple information retrieval technology to the process of testing undergraduate college students is described. The Computerized Test Library allows the student and/or the professor to extract questions of varying difficulty covering whatever topic the student is studying; if the student performs at the…

O'Sullivan, D. F.; Hall, F. J. – 1972
In 1972 there were 33,000 Telex installations in the United Kingdom with 240,000 predicted by 1983. The feasibility of using these Telex systems for on-line accession of computer based information systems was investigated in this report. Comparisons between the Telex system and the Teletypewriter or Teleprinter system now in use reveal that the…

Pittsburgh Univ., PA. Project Solo. – 1971
An experimental 9th grade computer science syllabus is proposed. The syllabus would include the technical information needed for controlling and programing the computer in a number of modes and would preview some of the areas covered in the high school curriculum. A sample module of a topic not normally taught in high school--distance and…

Ball, Geoffrey H. – 1970
Sorting things into groups is a basic intellectual task that allows people to simplify with minimal reduction in information. Classification techniques, which include both clustering and discrimination, provide step-by-step computer-based procedures for sorting things based on notions of generalized similarity and on the "class description"…

Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY. Dept. of Computer Science. – 1970
Two papers are included as Part Four of this report on Salton's Magical Automatic Retriever of Texts (SMART) project report. The first paper: "A Controlled Single Pass Classification Algorithm with Application to Multilevel Clustering" by D. B. Johnson and J. M. Laferente presents a single pass clustering method which compares favorably…

Resnikoff, H. L.; Dolby, J. L. – 1971
Chapter I: "Introduction and Summary of Results," stresses the view that the problem of insufficient access is primarily a problem of the great size of the archives to which access is desired. Chapter II: "Levels of Information Storage and Access," is directed toward the problems of library archives and in this context it is…

Korfhage, R. R.; DeLutis, T. G. – 1969
A general model for information storage and retrieval (IS&R) systems is proposed. The system is selected from the set of all available IS&R components. These components define the system's users and data sources; the hardware, software, and personnel performing the actual storage and retrieval activities; and the funder who acts as a filter in the…
