Blakly, who compiled andedited Spmsored by the OntarioCollege counselors, itwas entitled, "Software and ResourceCatalog", and was publishedin March 1983. 1 he response to thefirst catalog of copies requested was extremely positive, both in thenumber by interested professionals,and in the number ofsoftware descriptions contributedby counselors usingcomputers. As a result, the Student Development Software Clearinghousegrew into a formal non-profitproject sponsored by Commission I ofthe American College Personnel W.K.

RussWatjer: headed the project, withJames Blakly c::-ina major contributor. Michele Stevens also deserves specialrecognition for herass _'ante in publicizing and promoting software clearinghouse. the As the amount ofinformationgrew, it became obvious that system was needed to a comprehensive manage the data and to providea means for continual updating. Martha Watjen, who hasa background in both systems analysis student development, and developed this system usingdBase 11.

Wale iii USING THIS CATALOG This catalog is arrangedaccording to counseling andstudent development topics; e.g., administrative aids,career development, health services.Software programs are listed alphabetically by titleunder the appropriate topic and the following information: include description, system requirements (hardware,operating system), price and publisher. Because of space considerations,each program appears only once; future editions of the catalogmay be cross-referenced. All information in thelistings is subject to change. Newprogram versions may have been written to runon different machines, or price and availabilitymay have changed. Please check directly withthe software publisherto confirm whatever informationyou need. In future editions of thecatalog, evaluation informationmay be included for particular programs,as well as additional listings thatmay have been omitted at this time. To help with this task,catalog users are asked tocopy and complete two forms at the back of this volume:Software Review Form (forprograms listed here) and Software Submission Form (forsuggested additions).Other comments and feedback are also appreciated.Please return the forms to: Russell Watjen, Ph.D. Dean of Student Affairs Western Connecticut StateUniversity Danbury, CT 06810 1 STATE OF THE ART IN COUNSELNGAND STUDENT DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE Garry R. Wa lz and Jeanne Stever We have beenvery impressed by the prodigious effort that hasgone into the in!fial development of thiscatalog and see itas a significant contribution to the facilitation of greater utilizationof computers and technologyin counselinc and student development. Sucha document as this not only meetsour immediate needs of finding an appropriatepiece of software for a given task, butprovides a window on the larger questions of wherewe have been and where we are going interms of future developments. Weare able to select, as a gourmet might, theentrees which would most satisfyus for the present, as well as to conjureup what we would like our chefs to be thinking about and preparing forus for the future. As we reviewed and analyzed thesoftware base, our reactions and conclusions were developed more as an additive synthesisthan a systematic and actuarial accounting. Weare interested more in the artist's broad brush strokesthan the minute details of the fine touch-upto the finishedcanvas, and our goal is more to encourage discussion and reflection on the thoughtsand images we suggest thanto provide definitive and factualconclusions.Hopefully, our thoughts willnot only provide some meaningful generalizationsabout what we have achievedso far, but also encourage compelling imagesof what we can and should do forthe future. Our first observation is theextent to which we appear to relyon general purpose software in the field of counselingand student development. Clearly,the largest amount of software availableto us would fall into the generalareas of wordprocessing, spreadsheets, anddatabase management.This predilection faxa generic use and developmentof software has advantagesar,d disadvantages.

These are the notes from the retirement seminar on computing technology employed in agricultural economics presented by Dr. Debertin in April, 2013.

This paper traces some of the remarkable changes that have taken place since the early 1960s, a period of about 50 years. Changes have occurred not only with respect to the computational ability of computers, but also to massive increases in their storage capability, making it possible to do things that could not have been even dreamed of only a few years ago. All of this is presented in the context of what it meant for research, teaching and extension programs in agricultural economics, with photos of much of the hardware that was employed along the way.

The basis for the choice of subject matter is clear – computers, as designed objects, can be seen (as Judy Attfield has said) as ‘things with attitude – created with a specific end in view – whether to fulfil a particular task, to make a statement, to objectify moral values, or to express individual or group identity, to denote status r demonstrate technological prowess, to exercise social control or to flaunt political power’.1 The analysis of the subject matter is based on trying to understand the ‘unresolved relationship between the object and its meaning’2 in which the subject is seen as the ‘objectification of social relations’.3 My previous research in this area4 has included an extensive analysis of archival material – trade catalogues, sales brochures and leaflets of office computers from the mid 1940s to the present day.
