A Study of Telecommunications in Indiana Independent Higher Education.

Telecommunications facilities, programing, plans, and communication needs of the independent institutions of higher education in Indiana were surveyed. Data were collected from questionnaires, on-site visits, and workshop discussions to evaluate telecommunication facilities. Recommendations were developed which outline steps to be taken to enable independent higher education institutions to participate in the Indiana Higher Education Telecommunication System (IHETS) and other measures which could facilitate sharing of telecommunication resources among institutions of higher education in Indiana. The proposal for this project, forms used in data collection, the data, and supplements to the recommendations are appended. (CH)
