Routledge - Planning For Computing In Higher Education Book

Explore the historical foundations of technology in academia with Planning For Computing In Higher Education. This volume contains the proceedings from the 1979 Educom Fall Conference and provides a deep look into how colleges and universities began integrating computing and information resources into their daily operations. The text examines computer applications across three vital pillars: instruction, research, and administration. By presenting diverse perspectives from faculty members, administrators, and computer center directors, the book offers a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities presented by early computing technology. Authored by James C. Emery, who served as the president of EDUCOM and held leadership roles at the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School, this work is a significant resource for those studying the evolution of educational technology and campus resource management.
