It is in the wide dissemination of vast historical information that the future of archives lies. (Author/SJ)

Reports on a study based on the hypothesis that "researchers and nonresearchers in the field of instructional technology (and probably elsewhere), differ in value structure. The main body of the article consists of "discussions of (a) the specific values which differed significantly in order of priority between researchers and nonresearchers, (b)…

The author discusses the need to establish lines of communication between instructional researcher and curriculum developer" in order to improve the statement of educational priorities." (Authors/AK)
