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)

Reports the results of a survey given to members of the Texas Association for Educational Technology (N=29) in which media specialists' attitudes toward computers and use of computers in society and education were assessed. Results, among others, indicate positive attitudes of media specialists toward the role of computers. (DC)

A computerized maintenance system upgrades the quality of maintenance and increases productivity. Information that should be included in the computer program is described. (Author/MLF)

Brigham Young University has a talking-listening computer. Capable of limited conversation, it will be able to register students by telephone. Programs have also been developed for use of the computer in public schools as an aid to teachers. (Author/MLF)

Presents the mathematical background for solving eigenvalue problems, with illustrations of the applications in computer programing. The numerical matrix treatment is presented, with a demonstration of the simple HMO theory. (CS)

Describes the long-term economic and demographic forecast from recent long-term computer global models, discusses their relevance and limitations with regard to educational policy, and suggests a computable quantitative framework designed to overcome criticisms of current models. (Author/CMV)

Describes a study that investigated the literacy demands required by the task of text editing a manuscript on a computer terminal. (MKM)

Discusses a semantic network of computer literacy topics and a computer implementation (ACCOLADE) for the PLATO IV system. ACCOLADE was used by learners as a search tool for accessing knowledge about a particular topic in the computer literacy knowledge space and as a mechanism to reveal the structure of that knowledge space. References are…

The administrative computing operation of Clemson University is discussed. The university's computing history, computer hardware, and computing organization (including the Computer Center, administrative programing services, and information systems development) are described. (MLW)

Discusses some prominent applications available today for most microcomputer systems, including: teaching computing to all students, the computer as a problem solving tool, games, drill and practice, simulation, and testing. (Author)

Presents a computer program developed at the University of Cincinnati to transpose and compute sets of raw data from the Flanders' Interaction Analysis, used in investigating classroom teaching behavior. The program is included and its use with student teachers is discussed. (RAO)
