Analysis of ERIC Computer Search Requests Processed by the Educational Programs and Studies Information Service (EPSIS) Unit during the Period of September 1975 through April 1976.
Wilkes, Whitney
The Educational Programs and Studies Information Service (EPSIS) processed and analyzed 1888 Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) computer searches requested by New York State educators. New York State agencies and the Albany capital district used the computer search most heavily. Local educational agency personnel formed the largest user group. Administrators in elementary and secondary schools were the top users in three-fourths of the regions in New York. New York State Department of Education requests were primarily for the Office of Instructional Services. Purposes for computer searches were evenly spread across regions in the state: Administrators searched for more information on program development, and state education officials searched for information on administrative planning most frequently.
