250,000 volumes were converted from Dewey to LC by the on-line Administrative Terminal System (ATS) within seven months at Western Kentucky University Library. In turn, new catalog cards, Hollerith book cards, pockets, labels, bibliographies, and catalogs were produced by the automated ATS system. (6 references) (Author/DH)

Implementing a multi-modal instructional approach requires computer services. A joint computer center for the college and county government, located at the college, is developed in a 3-phase plan taking three years to complete. (CA)

Strong leadership should be exerted in the development of the use of the computer science field in the education of health professionals. (IR)

Paper presented at the Educationand Information Science Symposium," Sponsored by the Ohio Chapters of the American Society for Information Science in cooperation with The Department of Computer and Information Science, The Ohio State University, June 23 and 24, 1969. (MF)

Describes important information-handling products, predicting future devices in light of convergence and greater flexibility offered through use of microchip technology. Contends that information technology and its impact of privacy depends on how information systems are used, arguing that the privacy issue deals more with moral/physiological…

Herbert Simon (Nobel prize-winning economist/professor) expresses his views on human and artificial intelligence, problem solving, inventing concepts, and the future. Includes comments on expert systems, state of the art in artificial intelligence, robotics, and "Bacon," a computer program that finds scientific laws hidden in raw data.…

Discusses the development of an airway science program. The program would offer the bachelor's in airway science with five options--airway science, aircraft systems, airway electronics or airway electronics management, and airway computer science. A sample curriculum outline (focusing on the five options) is included. (JN)

Discussion of information needs of rural areas and impact of computer technology on information dissemination focuses on information sources and services--the public or tax-supported sector (federal, state, and local agencies); the private sector (mass media). Computer technology in agriculture based on interactive computer systems, videotex, and…

Highlights a National Science Foundation (NSF) assessment which determined whether there will be an adequate supply of science, engineering, and technician personnel for meeting defense/nondefense needs between 1982 and 1987. Indicates that personnel shortages may occur in a few science/engineering employment categories, but chemists/chemical…

Discusses ways that high school English teachers can help their students develop the skills for dealing with computers and other technology of the "information age." (RL)

Describes the introduction of microprocessors into the Weapons and Systems Engineering Department at the U.S. Naval Academy, including planning decisions, implementation, procedures, uses of microprocessors in the department, and impact on the Systems Engineering major and curriculum. (SK)

Presented is research designed to find ways to capitalize on the potential benefits of computers for hyperactive and attention deficient children. The results indicated that children did almost twice as many problems on the computer as they did with paper and pencil. (MP)

Activities that describe a teacher's work are identified, and an examination of these activities leads to descriptions of the kind of computer support that would be useful to teachers in these areas. The material is designed to simplify the task of convincing administrators and others of the needs for computers. (MP)
