Mathews, M. V. Choosing a Scientific Computer for Service. Science, 161, 
1968, pp. 23“27. An interesting summary of hard-to-get information, but somewhat 
misleading about time-shared operations. See note by H. N. Cantrell on this 
article.

Rogers, M. H. Some Aspects of the Multiple-Access Computer System. Science 
Progress, Oxford, 56, 1968, pp. 389-97. "Some of the inherent difficulties in the 
use of time-sharing systems are outlined and a simplified account is given of 
address calculation in a time-sharing system." (Author's abstract). 
Squires, D. F. Collections and the Computer. BioScience, 18, 1968, 
pp. 973-74. A major break-through, for Squires not only recognizes the existence 
of time-share in the museum-computer relationship, but also is impressed by its 
significance.
