Harper, D. J.: Van Rijsbergen, C. J. – Journal of Documentation, 1978
Reports experiments with a term weighting model incorporating relevance information in which it is assumed that index terms are distributed dependently. It is argued that, if high recall searches are required, relevance feedback based on the modified dependence model may be superior to the Boolean search. (Author/VT)
Descriptors: Evaluation, Feedback, Information Retrieval, Library Research
Wolf, W. C., Jr. – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1978
A history of educators' concern with systematic production and utilization of educational knowledge (KPU) since the beginning of the century is presented. The influence of Paul Mort on the KPU tradition from the 1930's to the 1960's, and of Federal policies on educational research and dissemination since the 1960's is investigated. (Author/MJB)
Descriptors: Communication Research, Educational Research, Federal Programs, Information Dissemination
Haynes, Marion E. – Personnel Journal, 1978
A continuation of a two-part article about performance appraisal programs, this part examines program design and implementation. Topics covered include a systems approach, designing forms and establishing procedure, and maintaining the program. (TA)

Brown, A. E. – Interchange, 1976
The process of moving away from a simplistic reliance on intelligence test ratings to more sophisticated models of assessment and service is more advanced in systems where the school psychologist is given real professional status and is allowed to shape the nature of services offered. (MB)
Descriptors: Educational Psychology, Intelligence Tests, Professional Recognition, Role Perception

Barraclough, Elizabeth D. – Journal of Documentation, 1977
A consideration of the development of on-line systems in terms of the computer changes that made on-line searching possible, and the use of these changes by information retrieval systems. (Author/KP)
Descriptors: Computers, Information Retrieval, Interaction, Man Machine Systems
Rice, James – American Libraries, 1987
Describes the advantages of the development of open systems, i.e., a configuration which combines software and hardware from separate vendors into a single system, as a means of increasing the possible applications of library automation. (CLB)
Descriptors: Bibliographic Utilities, Computer Networks, Electronic Equipment, Library Automation

Langerman, Shoshannah – Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian, 1986
Describes a computerized database of social sciences research activities in Israel. The problems of constructing a database in a small country with special linguistic problems are covered, and the printed products and services offered are described. (Author/EM)
Descriptors: Databases, Developed Nations, Foreign Countries, Hebrew

Kington, Robert A. – Library Hi Tech, 1987
Outlines factors used by online vendors to decide whether to bid on RFPs (requests for proposals) for library automation systems, including specifications for software, hardware or performance requirements not met by the vendor; specifications based on competitors' systems; the size and complexity of the request itself; and vendors' time…

Radecki, Tadeusz – Information Processing and Management, 1988
Discusses the inability of the standard Boolean logic model of information retrieval to deal effectively with the inherent fallibility of retrieval decisions. Recent advances in information retrieval research are reviewed, and their practical potential for overcoming the deficiencies of the Boolean model is examined. (45 references) (Author/CLB)
Descriptors: Online Searching, Online Vendors, Relevance (Information Retrieval), Research Utilization

Radecki, Tadeusz – Information Processing and Management, 1988
A theoretical framework used to derive a weighting mechanism for ranking output documents in Boolean retrieval systems is described in detail. A simple illustrative example is included, and the implications of such an approach are discussed. (64 references) (Author/CLB)
Descriptors: Feedback, Functions (Mathematics), Information Retrieval, Mathematical Models
Gerken, Ann – Database, 1988
Discusses the advantages of maintaining local numeric databases, and describes the activities involved in creating a local database. The acquisition of files, user support, data storage and access, database management, costs, and planning strategies are discussed. (5 notes with references) (CLB)
