             ERIC/IR SEEKS CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE DATABASE


As you may know, ERIC (the Educational Resources Information Center) is
a federally sponsored information system for the field of education.
Its main product is the ERIC Database, the world's largest source of
education information.  The Clearinghouse on Information Resources
(ERIC/IR) is one of sixteen subject-specialized clearinghouses making
up the ERIC system.  ERIC/IR collects documents for the database in the
fields of library/information science and educational technology.

Authors who wish to share their research findings, position papers,
curriculum materials, project descriptions, and other informative
pieces with their colleagues find a unique vehicle in the ERIC
database.  This constantly updated information system brings together
such unpublished, hard-to-find materials on all phases, levels, and
subject areas of education.  More than 340,000 documents are already
available to the public in nearly 900 libraries and institutions that
hold an ERIC microfiche collection.

To have a library/information science or educational technology
document reviewed for inclusion in ERIC, send 2 paper copies to the
address below.  (If your document exists in electronic form only,
contact the clearinghouse to discuss the best way to submit it:
ERIC@SUVM.ACS.SYR.EDU.)

P.S. from Mike Eisenberg - If you have any curriculum guides, overviews,
or other library media or technology type documents that have been
created on the local, regional, or state level - please consider sharing
these with the rest of the educational world - through ERIC.  When in
doubt, send it along - we will have reviewers determine if it is
appropriate for ERIC.  Thanks!!!!

Subject:      RE: LCD panels

In 1992 we bought a DuKane 800 integrated OHP and LCD panel for $1440 plus
cables and carrying case (educ discount price). It offers some color dif-
ferentiation (but not true colors), plus reasonably good clarity for an
inexpensive tool, but it does not support motion (either mouse or animation)
sufficiently well for classroom use.  Our Zenith MasterSport works well with it
(VGA cable), and it has cables also for CGA and Mac.  The latter, however,
does not work with anything less than a MacII (video output of SE/30, for
example, is distorted by the DuKane), so the dream of taking a portable
Mac into the classroom withthe DuKane has not materialized.

The DuKane weighs around 20 lbs and, while portable, is a lot to carry, along
with portable computer and class materials.  There are some models that look
and operate more like a slide projector (without the carousel) than an OHP,
and at least some of them (I think Apollo) are fully Mac-compatible also.

Subject: Planning:Process

Thanks to John Rugo, of the New England Academic and Research Network,
for pointing out that I had missed a very important stage of the
strategicv planning process: stakeholder analysis - who cares (or
should care) about what we do? Do they care about the same thing or
different things.
When we did our stakeholder analysis for the first time, we
covered a whole wallchart with different stakeholders. Again,
we found ourselves having to prioritize. One of the concerns
I had was how easily our students/viewers tended to be swamped
by other stakeholders with different interests. This can be a very
useful technique for re-focusing an institution's activities,
to ensure that the main stakeholders are being served.
A colleague at University of Victoria, Kate Seaborne, has used
stakeholder analysis to defuse a highly controversial issue
around a distance education course for aboriginals.

Incidentally, I am hoping for more comments, questions or
wisdom - if you are out there 'lurking', and hesitant
to participate publicly, why not send me an e-mail,
so I know that you are there!

I second Ed Caffarella's suggestion of the yearbook as the best
source of information about graduate programs in the field.

Like Ed's program, the program at Northern Illinois University
also offers both MS and EdD degrees.  I, too, will gladly send
program information to anyone who requests it.  Snail mail, of
course.  Please indicate NIU Info Request as your message
subject line so that I do not overlook something in the midst
of my heavy mail.

  we are searching for material and technology engineers, computer hardware
and software experts, architects, planners, educators, researchers, and
futurists who are the best authorities available to participate in a
teleconference which will address the following issues:

       1)  the impact of technology on existing and future facilities;
       2)  what skills and information will be needed to design technology
           responsive facilities in the next two decades;
       3)  what strategies will be necessary for planning, designing, and
           constructing future facilities;
       4)  and what will be the impact of future technologies on laws,
           statutes, and building codes affecting educational facilities.

  please recommend who you think would be the best people, nationally or
internationally, to speak about these topics.  send names and any contact
information to my email address, given below.  feel free to circulate this

Access hubs are sold with different configuration and different level

with a backbone connection such as Fiber Optic.

Hubs are sold with, for example: 8, 12, 20, 24, 32 RJ/45 ports.
There are models available with BNC (coax) connectors, thin ethernet,
Thick ethernet, AUI, RJ/45 connectors.  The choice is yours...if you
have the money.  For example, IN CANADA, a 12 RJ/45 port HUB with 1
AUI connector cost approx. $1,200.00.

Hope this helps!

a lot more than the IMS systems they replace.  Have others encountered
this problem?  What have you done about it?

Can you give me some idea about how MUCH more cost the DB2 users have
experienced over the IMS users?  At Michigan, on a 22-mip machine, the
average IMS transaction uses about 35-40 milliseconds of cpu....on the
one large DB2 system we have (our Alumni system), the average transaction
is about 150 ms.

 Have you considered using DRDA?  It is supported by SQL/DS, DB2 and
 OS/2 DBM.  Several other vendors (eg. Oracle, Sybase, DEC and Gupta
 among others whose names escape me at the moment) have said they will
 support the protocol/architecture.  It comes free with SQL/DS 3.3 and
 DB2 2.3.  The PC portion requires an extra gateway piece called
 Distributed Database Connection Services/2 (DDCS/2).  Its cost is about
 $5600.

 As I understand it, DRDA provides not only for Dynamic SQL, but
 Static SQL also.  This means, for instance, that one could run
 DBSU DATAUNLOADs against DB2 tables.  Or run a PC application against
 SQL/DS data with package (access module) security.  At the moment
 DRDA only supports a single server per LUW.  Ie. a program can't
 access both SQL/DS and DB2 tables in an LUW.  But the direction is
 to provide full server transparency.  Meaning joins between tables
 maintained on separate platforms.  I don't expect to see that for a
 couple of years, but the potential is very exciting.

 Have fun,

Except IBM broke either CMS or FLIST at some point.  This fails on our
VM/XA 2.1, CMS 5.6, IPF/XA combination.
