- The Computer in Library Education: One School's Approach. Drott, M. Carl Computer Assisted Instruction Computers Databases Library Education Library Schools Library Science Online Systems Programing Statistical Analysis The increasing presence and use of computers in libraries has brought about the more frequent introduction of computers and their uses into library education. The Drexel University Graduate School of Library Science has introduced the computer into the curriculum more through individual experimentation and innovation than by planned development. In this way, it is adapted to specific areas rather than attached to remotely related courses. Training is in the areas of computer programming, data base access and on-line searching, and the use of packaged programs for data reduction and analysis. Access to several computers and data base services is a feature of the program. The format is detailed for those courses which employ computers. On-line training, with its problems and possibilities, is discussed. Statistical analysis is a facet of four courses. In the future, computer-aided instruction and the creation and manipulation of in-house data bases are areas which will be further investigated. (Author)
