Managing the microcomputer movement on campus

Abstract The microcomputer revolution is beginning to have a significant impact on colleges throughout the U.S. and Canada. The proliferation of microcomputer labs, found in 90 percent of 210 schools participating in this study, affects faculty, curricula, students, and the administrators who must manage them. This article examines the current and projected hardware and software needs of colleges. It also addresses the agenda of how to manage and control the expensive and rapidly expanding microcomputer resource.
