A survey was conducted to identify the patterns of academic and administrative computer services in use--or planned for the near future--in small colleges and universities as they relate to such strategic policy areas as: (1) management/governance structure; (2) personnel-staff; (3) personnel-faculty; (4) academic computing; (5) library services; (6) networking; (7) word/text processing; (8) financing; (9) computer hardware; (10) communications; (11) administrative computing; and (12) computer security. Questionnaires were sent to 271 small colleges and universities (i.e., enrollment under 5,000 students); the net usable responses totaled 103, or 38% of the institutions surveyed. Responses indicated that the majority of colleges and universities (52%) had one officer responsible for directing both academic and administrative computing; full time faculty were responsible for most computer instruction (83%); 60% reported that professional computer center staff did not serve as teaching faculty; 47% said computing was mentioned in their master plan and 48% said it was not; 73% indicated they had access to national or regional computer networks for library and other uses; 38% indicated their central computer budget had lagged; and the prevailing source for academic computing was on-campus minicomputers in 42% of the responding institutions, followed by microcomputers (27%), and the campus mainframe (26%). It is recommended that a similar study be conducted which would focus on larger institutions. A 13-page bibliography, a list of survey respondents, and a copy of the questionnaire are provided. (JB)
