More than 90 computer terminals are used at Lamar University (Texas) for a number of functions, including classes, admission, registration, fee payment, catalog editing, and the handling of the university's investments. (MLF)

The use of the analog computer to plot the gain frequency of a system under test is presented. Both linear and logarithmic plots are considered. The method is applicable with almost no frequency restrictions when the system under test is simulated on the computer. (SK)

Describes impact of micrographics; microcomputer simulations of scintillation spectrometry and chemical/enzyme kinetics experiments; various computer programs (formulas and equations and equilibrium demonstration and lunar data plotting, among others); multiplexing in instrument readout displays; microcomputer-controlled flash photolysis…

Reviews the nature of computer networks and previews their development by focusing on ways they are useful to scientists and to science, including applications for remote computer access, electronic mail, bulletin boards, teleconferencing, file transfer, resource sharing, and imbedding nontextual communications. (JN)

Surveys the technology of database software and hardware, describing some of the principal issues related to the user's view of data, sharing, concurrent access, security, and integrity. (JN)

The program described in this article, Abecedarian, is more a demonstration of some advanced techniques for natural language construction on a computer than a practical application. (Author/MK)

Explores the implications of the silicon-chip microprocessor and of telecommunications advances for future learning both inside and outside organized educational programs. (Author/RW)

Describes the introduction of an Apple II microcomputer into Miami Lakes (Florida) Junior High School and its success in generating enthusiasm among teachers, students, parents, and the community. (Author/RW)

Describes the costs, programing languages, limitations, and capabilities of micro, mini, and mainframe computers, as well as specific computer projects and storage techniques, including disks, floppies, and videodiscs. Also discussed are links, networks, and computer features for libraries. A glossary and 22 references are provided. (RBF)

Describes an investigation undertaken to indicate the curricular content (knowledge and skills) needed to prepare the accounting student to audit computerized accounting systems. Areas studied included programing languages, data processing, desired course training, and computer audit techniques. (CT)

A physical chemistry computer program with seven subprograms (available from the author) was developed to present student questions, evaluate mathematical expressions (calculator mode), retrieve tables, and refresh output on the terminal. Criteria for easily adding new questions are listed and sample output included. (SK)

Describes different uses and impacts of the computer on campuses throughout America, including student and faculty use, research projects on student use, intercampus networks, and future plans. (DC)

Explains how the Random Access Telephone System (RATS) provides home-telephone linkage to tape-recorded materials for a basic communication course, thus increasing instructional contact time with students. (PD)

Traces the development of circulation systems through the librarian's perception of circulation control and the technology of modern online systems. Librarians have switched from a broad service approach to a narrow record keeping approach and back again as technological innovation has expanded their viewpoints. Included are six references.…

Programs which compute values for the nth power of 2 where n is very large and for fractions, with a great deal more precision than is normally possible for a computer, are listed. (TG)
