A status report on museums and media prefaces the annotated references listed in this paper. Futuristic proposals have been made for a Museum of Media that would be all media and no objects, and for a museum environment individualized by computer and visual previews of the galleries. The museums of today use films, slide-tapes, sound recordings,…

The material presented in this three-volume manual is a summary of the history and experiences of the Huntington Computer Project, and the purpose of the manual is to assist high school teachers and other educators who wish to explore the uses of computers in high schools. The first volume contains an introductory section which gives the…

This monograph on the cost and use of computers in education consists of two parts. Part I is a report of the President's Science Advisory Committee concerning the cost and use of the computer in undergraduate, secondary, and higher education.

A management information system (MIS) is a systems approach to data processing. It provides relevant, timely, and accurage data to decisionmakers, as well as information storage, retrieval, and transfer functions through the use of computers. Educational administrators have been slow to implement computerized data processing either because they…

This memorandum is the result of an investigation into the three existing biomedical information services; MEDLARS (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System), the interlibrary loan (ILL) service, and the network of Poison Control Centers. This research is intended to provide an understanding of the structure, quality, and coverage of these…

The question "Can a machine counsel" asks not if a machine can imitate the behavior of counselors, but rather if an identity of goals can be achieved between machine and counselor.

A procedure outline is presented regarding data gathering, computer reports (space inventory and…

Today's psychological measurement depends almost exclusively on the "standardized test." A certain amount of non-standardization, however, exists in the administration of any standardized test, with the amount unknown for any given test score. Time limits on tests pose a bigger problem since another variable is introduced, pressure. Test taking…

The preliminary purpose of this research on educational planning was to develop the methodology for the construction and to determine the feasibility of a computerized mathematical model that would project college and university enrollments in New York State. It was recommended that a simulation model be constructed as a prototype for a…

The purpose of this project was to study the feasibility of coordinating educational information systems and associated data processing efforts. A non-profit organization, representing key educational agencies in the state of Minnesota, was established to advise and guide the project. A statewide conference was held under the auspices of the…

This book is the final report of a two year research project. It offers a thorough discussion of the potentialities and limitations of computers for library application. A general treatment is presented of the whole library as it may be in the future. Emphasis is given to the usefulness of the computer as a device for ease of transmission of…

The state-of-the-art of hardware technology for computers in education is discussed. The choices that are available to the user, and the questions the user must ask himself before making a choice of computer hardware, are explored. An example of the costs of a central computer system for educational use is presented. (Author)

The Philadelphia School System developed a multilevel Management Information Feedback System to monitor the operation of the reading programs of its eight subdistricts. The major steps involved in the developmental process were: (1) the determination of what information was needed; (2) the development of noninterruptive information collection…

The Canadian Government has established the Educational Technology Program to encourage the effective utilization of technology to meet educational needs.
