These aren't the kind of "platters" they spin at discos. But they are record- ings, and they've sold in the millions. They're magnetic disks, and what ithey record is information for storage 'in computers. They were introduced by IBM in the mid-50's and revolutionized data processing because they gave the user quicker access to his , information. Since then, disk storage has been universally adopted by the computer industry. Without it, making airline and rental car reservations, credit card transactions, and 24-hour banking, to name just a few uses, would be all but impossible. But the most important thing about disk storage is that at IBM we're still inventing it. Finding new ways to pack more information into less space, and retrieve it faster, all for less cost. Today a single 8"disk (the small one at left above) can store as much information as 120 of the 24" disks (the big one at the top) used in the first disk storage system we built. The 8"disk can, in fact, pack all the information on 22 newspaper pages into a space the size of a postage stamp! Information that used to be stored at a cost of $150 can now be stored for about $1.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the mateiial submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

  • Guest Editorial
    Guest E ditorial Allen M. Steele WHERE WE CAME FROM IS WHERE WE’RE GOING The following essay is adapted from a speech made at the second Asian Pacific Sci - ence Fiction Convention (Apsfcon 2019) in Beijing, China, on May 26, 2019. I’m not only a science fiction writer, but also a science fiction historian, albeit of the armchair variety. The history of the SF genre fascinates me just about as much as any SF novel I’ve ever read. I’ve often used SF history as the background for my own work, such as my novel Arkwright , and lately my interest has only become stronger as I’ve explored the genre’s origins. One of the most wonderful things that’s come out of my studies is an appreciation for SF’s roots and just how truly international they are. More importantly, though, if we accept the idea that examining history can be a reliable means of forecasting the future—a major reason why it’s important to preserve the past and study it—then it’s possible that we may be able to perceive the direction where we’re headed by looking back to see where we’ve come from. Thus, a brief, and by no means complete, history of science fiction: Like science fiction’s close cousin, fantasy, SF has its roots in fables and myth-olo - gy, stories of the fantastic as opposed to realistic fiction. Much of this, particularly the imaginative literature published prior to the mid-nineteenth century, could be considered proto-SF.

    STANLEY DONEN Chantons sous la pluie DOSSIER 150 COLLÈGE AU CINÉMA SYNOPSIS En 1927, l’acteur de cinéma Don Lockwood et sa partenaire Lina Lamont assistent à la première de leur nouveau film à Hollywood. Malgré ce qu’il raconte alors au public sur sa carrière et son sens de la dignité, Don a fait beaucoup de compromissions avant de devenir une star. Avec son ami Cosmo Brown, il a tenté de s’imposer au music-hall, puis a débuté obscu- rément au cinéma comme cascadeur jusqu’à ce que le producteur Simpson des studios Monumental Pictures le remarque et fasse de lui le partenaire de la blonde Lina Lamont, aussi belle qu’idiote. Le service de presse du studio les a fiancés pour des raisons publicitaires. L’écervelée Lina croit que leur amour est réel, alors que Don la déteste et ne joue le jeu du couple que pour la galerie et les magazines. Jusqu’au jour où il est séduit par une jeune danseuse inconnue : Kathy Selden.
