Chenhall, Robert G. – 1975
Several museum information processing systems are discussed in relation to their underlying assumptions regarding museum information and networking needs that have resulted in inadequate service to some kinds of museums, particularly historical museums. Rather than any of these systems, a modular approach is proposed that would allow each museum…

Davison, P. S. – Information Scientist, 1972
Broad coverage is essential to the effectiveness of information services. This paper criticizes the misleading claims made regarding computer-based systems in this context. It describes the Scientific Documentation Centre's services, the basis on which its resources are allocated, and the criteria for selection of operating techniques and…

Etnyre, Vance A. – 1970
Information systems developed to support university planning must be designed to insure that all planning needs can be met. Only highly flexible, highly integrated information systems can meet current planning requirements. Such systems should be designed in a modular fashion and employ user-oriented languages to select and combine the system…

A feedback system for reporting individual pupil variables; classroom, school, and districtwide summaries was designed. The system utilized optically scanned forms which produced input files for report production. The system was designed so that the numbers and types of variables were fixed, but that the content of the variables was completely…

Mann, Richard L. – New Directions for Institutional Research, 1979
Problems of the college or university that center around the people who use the institution's computers are examined. It is suggested that effective use of computers in higher education depends on how well the users and providers understand the constraints and problems of each information system. (Author/SF)

Levine, Gwen R. – 1980
User perception of data importance and the economic feasibility of hardware and storage devices will determine the future direction of online systems. A retrieval system's functions are ultimately dictated by database design. Early online sytems were designed for bibliographic information limited to citations only using sequential files. When…
