trying to keep up with developments in their field.
They need prompt and efficient access to information
in order to keep abreast of the latest trends and innovations.
There a:re several standard ways of accessing
such information, including
l discussion and interaction with other professionals,
l books and manuals,
l college courses,
l in-house training,
l seminars and conferences, and
l professional journals and periodicals.
Journals and periodicals are particularly important
sources of organized and relatively current information.
Because of the wide variety of computer publications
available to the professional, however, it is often difficult
to find the right ones. The Quarterly Bibliography of
Computers and Data Processing lists over 120 publications,
60 percent of them dealing primarily with computing,
and th’e rest with related areas like management,
electronics, and business. New periodicals continue
to appear on a regular basis.  This article is not yet tagged | 1985 |
