Summary:

There is a quiet revolution under way in many areas of student services. New system implementations are accelerating the pace of these changes. In offices such as the bursar, comptroller, and financial aid, and to some extent even admissions, the nature of the work and the expertise needed int these areas are chnaging. At the moment, most senior administrators and faculty are unware of these trends and their implications. This volume examines why new information systems have become such a pressing concern for colleges and universities and how campus administrators can prepare for the costs of new systems, their effective and efficient implementation, and the long-term issues associated with the implementation of new information systems.

This is the 136th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series "New Directions for Higher Education,"
