As We May Think . . .
Vannevar Bush, The Atlantic Monthly,

The Information Mountain
Selection by association, rather than by indexing, may yet be mechanized. One
cannot hope thus to equal the speed and flexibility with which the mind follows
an associative trail, but it should be possible to beat the mind decisively in
regard to the permanence and clarity of the items resurrected from storage.
There is a growing mountain of research. But there is increased evidence
that we are being bogged down today as specialization extends. The
investigator is staggered by the findings and conclusions of thousands of
other workers - conclusions which he cannot find time to grasp, much less
to remember, as they appear.

associative trails running through them ...

OnCourse (Indiana)
Oncourse is an online course management system (CMS) developed at
Indiana University. It permits faculty and students to create, integrate, use,
and maintain Web-based teaching and learning resources. For students,
Oncourse offers content and learning tools through a single, consistent Web
interface. For faculty, Oncourse provides a framework for building teaching
materials without requiring knowledge of programming or HTML. A unique
feature is that course and individual user Web sites are automatically
generated as information is updated in university databases.
