Kershaw, Roger C. – 1979
This paper reviews the successful development of an educational testing system using sophisticated data processing in a developing Caribbean nation. Begun in 1975, the 4-year program was devised to assist in the creation of a multi-national testing agency which would replace the existing British Overseas Examinations with an indigenous assessment…

Hilton, Howard J. – 1980
This paper proposes a user designed system, HUC, intended to provide a single index and retrieval system covering all recorded knowledge and information capable of being retrieved from all modes of storage, from manual to the most sophisticated retrieval system. The concept integrates terminal hardware, software, and database structure to allow…

ADAIR, CHARLES H.; BARBE, RICHARD H. – 1965
GENERALIZATIONS WERE CLASSIFIED AND FIELD TESTED, AND A RETRIEVAL SYSTEM DEVELOPED DURING THIS PROJECT. THE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT INVOLVED ORGANIZING GENERALIZATIONS INTO A LOGICAL SYSTEM OF 10 CATEGORIES. THE CODING PLAN WAS TO ASSIGN A 10-DIGIT NUMERIC CODE TO EACH GENERALIZATION AND CATEGORY. TWO DECKS OF CARDS WERE CODED AND PRODUCED, AND A…

Wismer, Don – 1977
Interlibrary loan (ILL) transactions are a major library problem because the increased volume places a burden on systems developed with no general plan. This report lists nine difficulties identified by the 1974 National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. Automated networking is imperative for ILL's future. The Ohio College Library…

Goldman, Samuel; Moynihan, William J. – 1976
This paper identifies key variables in both the design and implementation of educational planning models and presents a conceptual framework that meaningfully relates these variables. Purpose of the conceptual framework is to provide educational researchers and practitioners with a "cognitive map" of significant variables associated with…

Nunamaker, J. F., Jr.; And Others – 1973
It is recognized that there is a major gap between the promises of large data bases and optimization and simulation models and their actual ability to solve real world problems. This document describes a Generalized Data Base Planning System (GPLAN), currently being developed at Purdue University, that is proposed as a system to bridge this gap. A…

Kennedy, F. D.; Woodside, M. B. – 1969
This report reviews the basic characteristics of an information system to be used in statewide planning, and derives the objectives of such a system for the State of North Carolina. The design and implementation calls for three stages: (1) an initial demonstration system to provide experiences in the use and implementation of the system, (2) an…

Roberts, Tommy L. – 1969
During the transfer from conceptualizations to practical programs of educational innovation, difficulties, in the form of failure to close modular gaps, often occur. The author has constructed a functional model of research and systems development based upon logical sequencing and tight-line modular linkage between task assignment and…

Giammatteo, Michael C. – 1969
To develop a systematic evaluation system, a planning team should initially identify the needs of target groups. Needs which can be met are defined as behavioral objectives. Once the behavioral objectives and those specific elements essential to achieving them (enabling objectives) are defined and classified, performance measures can be…

Caless, Thomas W. – 1969
The volume of international marine sciences literature, estimated at 25,000 citations for 1968, is increasing at the rate of up to 20% per year. In view of the limited availability to users of the present and future backlog of information, there is an immediate need to systematically organize and process this material through sophisticated…

Garner, Ambrose – 1974
The age of accountability in higher education is here, but there has been virtually no development in educational systems that has encompassed the task of producing a performance-based college campus. In order to accomplish the necessary goal of developing subsystems which together constitute a performance-based system, it is necessary that…

Huff, Robert A. – 1970
This booklet uses the example of Micro-U--a hypothetical example intended as a training tool-- to illustrate the application of WICHE's basic Management Information Systems (MIS) concepts. Micro-U embodies a microcosm of higher education management problems related to the instructional functions MIS is designed to address. This initial version of…

Waina, Richard B. – 1969
Educational objectives were developed for an undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum. The courses studied were computer programming, electrical science, electrical networks, electronic engineering, and engineering communications. The courses were analyzed in terms of purpose, content, and objectives. Definitive problems for each course…
