From a July 1994 international conference in Jerusalem, 36 papers discuss the research, approaches, methodologies, applications, and tools of information technology in the management of schools, mostly primary and secondary, but occasionally institutions of higher learning. The topics include actual systems around the world, staff and teachers' training and support, decision support systems, telecommunication and voice response systems, human resource management, and geographic planning of education systems.
