Abstract

The Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Springs, Maryland has added a fourth ‘R’ to the traditional school curriculum of reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic: retrieval, as in information retrieval. Students at the school are using the Dialog ClassMate/CIP information retrieval sys‐tem as part of their regular classwork. The results have been so positive that the school was chosen to receive Dialog's Excellence in Online Education Award. The award, which includes $1,000's worth of connect time on the Dialog system was presented to the school by Dr. Roger Summit, President of Dialog Information Services.
