Information systems are now a reality in the field of education. The ERIC system is the first major attempt, based upon public funds, to establish a nationwide network of information centers dealing with several disciplines in education. At the present time the Clearinghouse for Junior College Information is the first center to represent a particular level of education. By concentrating first upon the acquisition and dissemination of locally-produced reports of institutional research in junior colleges, this clearinghouse seeks to fulfill its function as an agency designed to classify and distribute information to a specialized field.
