22 <br />Selected Related Experiences <br />The faculty and staff associated with the Human Services Research and Design <br />Laboratory have extensive experience with computers and computer systems, both for <br />systems development and data analyses. Recently; the HSL worked with the Onslow <br />County Department of Social Services in developing a management information system <br />for Adult Services. That program resulted in an automated data management and <br />retrieval system that includes information from both clients and providers of services. <br />The system was designed so that other community information can also be included <br />resulting in a significant strategic planning tool for agency and community planning. The <br />system is networked to allow multiple user access, simultaneously. <br />In a smaller effort for the School of Social Work, the HSL coordinated user <br />access to all faculty and staff on an electronic mail system. This involved assigning <br />identification and confidential access to the mainframe mail system, involving all faculty <br />and staff in seminars to learn to access and use the system and adding communication <br />hardware to increase the ability to access the system. <br />Other large scale efforts which include use of both the mainframe and <br />microcomputers for data analysis and report production include a community needs <br />assessment for Rowan County, North Carolina, a human services needs assessment for <br />the U.S. Army world -wide, the Navy Leisure Needs Survey, an assessment in Richmond <br />County and an assessment of the implementation and efforts of the J013S initiative for <br />the state of North Carolina. <br />...............
