Academic Libraries Budgets Comparative Analysis Computer Uses in Education Educational Finance Educational Technology Expenditures Higher Education Information Networks Information Technology Liberal Arts Private Colleges Strategic Planning Surveys Technological Advancement User Needs (Information) The use of information technology within independent colleges is examined by analyzing data from an annual survey by the College Entrance Examination Board and one completed by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) members, developed by CAUSE, the national association for the management of information in higher education. The questionnaire was completed by 119 members, a response rate of 38.3%. Findings indicated that senior academic officers appear to be in pivotal positions regarding the possible integration of educational computing, administrative computing, and library information. Eighty-one percent of respondents had a campus strategic plan, and 47 percent had an information technology plan, but few campuses link the two. Investments in information technology represented a significant part of members' discretionary revenue, but members typically invested less than 2% of educational and general budgets in computing and less than 3% in libraries. CIC colleges compared well to other independent colleges and very well to public institutions with respect to information technology, but they were less likely to be connected to the Internet. Few campuses had the latest in high-end facilities. Thirty-eight figures (graphs) present survey findings. An appendix discusses survey responses. (SLD) |
