This workbook is designed primarily for graduate library school students in a supervised laboratory setting as an adjunct to a formal course on computer based reference services. The DIALOG system has the capability to search several large on line files, and the workbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the Lockheed DIALOG Manual. Eight…

Provides statistics on the 1975 enrollments for various engineering branches and for women and minorities in engineering. (MLH)

Describes a course offered through the University of Missouri which allows off-campus graduate students to obtain professional experience and get their names in print. (RB)

Describes various data and discussions included in this report on chemical and chemical engineering higher education, including special chemistry programs, program certification requirements, and the M.S. degree in these fields. Includes a table of the number of degrees granted in these fields at 529 institutions. (MLH)

Reviews some statistics on graduate physics education and discusses some of the problems involved in maintaining high standards. (MLH)

Describes the Open Access Study plan, an external degree program, of the Atlantic Institute of Education. (IRT)

Describes a ten week college level psychology seminar designed to help students take a more active role in their professional and scientific development. The first five weeks consist of tracing the historical developments in psychology; the second half focuses on contemporary topics in professional psychology. (KC)

This article reviews the literature calling for specific skills in student development, describes a process-outcome model presented earlier for purposes of training student development specialists, and reports on the field applications and further development of that model. (Author)

The initiation, implementation, and midcourse evaluation of a unique training program, specially suited to the needs of the podiatric public health professional, are described. The reconceptualization of the program on the basis of midcourse evaluation is also discussed. (Author/LBH)

Describes the genesis, development, implementation, and evaluation of a graduate level kinetics course based on selected influential papers in chemical reaction engineering. (BB)

Ethylene hydrogenation on a platinum catalyst, electrolytically applied to a tube wall, is a good system for the study of the interactions between diffusion and surface reaction in heterogeneous catalysis. Theoretical background, apparatus, procedure, and student performance of this experiment are discussed. (BB)

The Pade approximant technique has emerged as a powerful mathematical aid for treating certain physical problems. This paper illustrates the continued fraction approach, mainly by example. (BB)

An elementary method based on classical Green's functions for the calculation of the momentum autocorrelation function for a harmonic oscillator and a damped harmonic oscillator is presented. (BB)

The author examines the development of the concept of "early childhood education" from that of a downward spread of traditional education to that of both school-based and care-giver directed developmental programs. Implications for the reformulation of graduate programs of study and for the creation of field-based personnel training programs are…
