The proposed model includes a total systems approach, double entry accounting, distribution audit, locator files, a common data base, and a general purpose file management system. It was felt this model would meet the stated objectives. Data for the study were gathered from personal interviews with administrators in the Department, an analysis of present operations, a review of the literature, and the researcher's computer systems experience.
