- Summary:
-
Using an opportunity to test the latest developments of computerized retrieval of Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) data, various aspects of the ERIC system that had previously gone unexamined were explored. The test of the system, which involved the use of an on-line computer terminal, is documented. Investigators were concerned with the nature of the material in the data base, particularly the extent of the inclusion of Canadian documents; what types of educators the data base could best serve; exploring the possibilities of cooperative efforts with neighboring institutions and agencies that shared certain needs; comparing the value of a machine-based retrieval system with a manual operation; and arriving at some notion of costs involved in adopting the new service. Findings in these areas are reported. Materials developed to acquaint users with the system and questionnaires designed to tap user reaction are appended. (Author/KE)
