AAHE meets in Chicago

The American Association for Higher E ducation
(AAHE) m et M arch 14, 1984, in Chicago. W hile
visiting the exhibits, I spoke w ith John M inter of
the Chronicle D ata Service in Boulder, Colorado.
M inter hopes to have the d ata from the NCES sur­
vey of college and university libraries for 1981-82
available soon on floppy disks to be used on p er­
sonal computers. Depending on the software used,
the cost will be from $95 to $125 to nonprofit insti­
tutions for d ata on up to 300 colleges and universi­
ties. D ata blocks are available by state, by accredit­
in g  reg io n , or by ty p e  of in s titu tio n  (2 -y ear,
university, public, private, etc.). Custom blocks
can be developed for an extra $50. The Chronicle
D a ta  Service is located at 1790 30th St., Suite 150,
Boulder, CO 80301. Rem ember th a t ACRL is also
m aking the d ata available in h ard  copy: Library
Statistics o f Colleges and Universities, 1981-82. 
D ata on all 3,000 institutions in the survey is avail­
able prepaid for $12 for ACRL members and $16
for non-members.

Also exhibiting at AAHE was the C om puter L it­
eracy Project of EDUCOM . EDUCOM  is a consor­
tium  of colleges and universities founded in 1964 to
facilitate the introduction, use, and m anagem ent

of inform ation technology. The C om puter L iter­
acy Project was created in 1983 to assist academ ic 
institutions in p rom oting com puter literacy for 
non-specialists on th e ir cam puses. T he P roject 
m aintains a database on com puter literacy projects 
at different institutions, publishes a newsletter, 
runs sem inars, and is developing guidelines for 
com puter literacy programs. Over 600 academic 
institutions are participating in this project. For 
further inform ation, w rite to Steven W . G ilbert, 
D irector, C om puter Literacy Project, ED U COM , 
Box 364, Princeton, NJ 08540.

At every conference, AAHE reserves tim e for 
“Position Roundtables” w here individuals can get 
together for an inform al m eeting w ith colleagues in 
th e  sam e position at o th e r in stitu tio n s. ACRL 
m em ber Joanne E uster, lib rary  director at San 
Francisco State University, arranged a m eeting of 
deans and directors of libraries. The librarians a t­
tending the m eeting agreed th a t it is im portant for 
library adm inistrators to p articipate in higher edu­
cation associations like AAHE in order to give in­
creased visibility to academ ic lib ra rie s.—Sandy 
W hiteley, A C R L  program officer. ■ ■
