Technology On The Factory Floor Iii: Technology Use And Training In Us Manufacturing Firms, Paul Swamidass
Paul Swamidass
This is the third issue of the Technology on the Factory Floor series. The study was sponsored by the Manufacturing Institute and the National Science Foundation. Data for this study of manufacturing technology use was collected from 1,025 manufacturing plant managers during 1997 using a modified survey questionnaire originally used in the 1993 study.
The findings were: Since the 1993 study, inventory turnover increased, rejection and rework reduced, and cycle time and manufacturing costs decreased; overall, there was measurable improvement in manufacturing since 1993. Other findings were: larger plants use technologies more extensively than smaller plants; exporters use more manufacturing …

A Bird's Eye View Of Authority Control In Cataloging, Karen S. Calhoun
Karen S Calhoun

She describes what made community-wide authority control possible in libraries; offers a high-level view of how it works from systems and practitioner perspectives; and assesses the limitations, prospects and challenges for the current authority control framework in libraries.

There is, instead, a variety of older and newer theories of 1) the interrelationships between economic actors that clusters describe, and 2) the implications of such interrelationships for economic growth and development. Industry clusters have proven a useful way of characterizing webs of relationships between and among firms and other institutions. …
