This report describes the development and offering of a 4-day short course on the use of computer-based information resources in the college science classroom. The audience for the short course was university, junior college, and community college instructional personnel in the various science disciplines. Instructional units included a survey of important scientific bibliographic information files, experience with on-line retrieval systems, assessment of documented case histories where this concept had been applied in the college science classroom, and development of unique classroom applications of this concept by the course participants. The short course was presented at the four locations of the Central Circuit of the National Science Foundation/American Association for the Advancement of Science Chautaugua Short Course Programs to a total of 65 participants during the 1975-76 academic year. Included in the document are selected examples of interim follow-up and correspondence and three selected examples of short course participants' interim projects. (Author/JD)
