Introducing Computing to Smaller Colleges and Universities -- A Progress Report By technical means that are now routine, computer service for smaller colleges and universities can be provided by remote terminals of a central facility. Access, however, is not enough-effective organizational and educational methodology for introducing computing at such institutions must also be developed. The experience of two years with a statewide network involving-41 institutions is discussed.
