SMITHSONIAN USAGE OF TIME-SHARED COMPUTERS 
In connection with a recent analysis of time-shared computer use in the 
Smithsonian Institution the following list was drawn up. We even surprised 
ourselves with the diversity of application that exists here, and it seems 
likely that M.UDPIE readers may find some work of interest to follow up. 
Individuals associated with the various operations can be identified if nec¬ 
essary, but in most cases a letter to the unit concerned will end up in the 
right place.- - JAP
