- Feasibility Study and Recommended Plan for Establishing an Institute for Information Systems in Higher Education. Hrones, John A. Administration Computer Assisted Instruction Computers Feasibility Studies Higher Education Information Systems Institutional Cooperation Instruction Libraries Research Resource Centers Resources This is a report of a study of national needs for computer based information systems in higher education. The study was limited to 5 problem areas that might best be solved through more central and cooperative efforts among institutions--administration, resource sharing, instruction, information science research, and libraries. Part I describes the study, termed Project ISE, and the actions recommended. It was conducted through the production of working papers covering the 5 areas, and subsequent meetings on over 80 campuses to discuss the papers with institutional officials. The results showed that 2 areas--administration and resource sharing--are in critical need of nation-wide, computer based information systems. The major recommendation calls for immediate establishment of a non-profit Institute for Information Systems in Higher Education to undertake programs in these 2 areas. Recommendations are also made for further study in the other areas. Part II contains the final versions of the working papers entitled: "Administrative Information Systems,""The Computer in Instruction,""Information System Resource Sharing,""Research in the Information Sciences," and "The Computer in the Library." The findings and recommendations presented in Part I are treated in great detail in Part II. (DS)
