Holdings of the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) and fiscal year (FY) 1982 data acquisitions and software enhancements are discussed. NCHEMS holds many years of data from surveys conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, the Bureau of the Census, and the Department of Commerce. NCHEMS has also built a base of standardized software to increase the productive capability of the NCHEMS staff. Enhancements to the standard software available at NCHEMS have been accomplished through: in-house development of new programs, addition of enhancements to in-house developed programs, and installing or enhancing externally-purchased programs. The most critical of new programs developed in-house is used to calculate and assign institutional classification according to the system developed at NCHEMS in the late 1970s. Frequent demand for counts of degree programs of different sorts led to the development of a general purpose program to generate a master file containing counts at the four-digit level for all bachelor, master, and doctoral programs recorded in the Higher Education General Information Survey earned degrees survey. Data sets that were acquired in FY 1982 are listed. (SW)
