Gleaves, Edwin S. – Journal of Education for Librarianship, 1982
Focuses on what author perceives to be trends of the 1980s in library education; i.e., dominance of electronic technology and its applications in information science; the stabilization of enrollments; continuing shift in programs from private to public universities; and lack of acceptance of 2-year master's programs. Forty-six references are…

Eisenkraft, Arthur – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1981
Describes a physics classroom in Briarcliff High School, Briarcliff Manor, New Jersey. Over 50 percent of the student body studies at least a year of physics before graduating, but less than 15 percent take a computer course. The physics programs discussed illustrate five different computer applications. (MP)
