new technology in the human services

Smith, N. J., Harris, P., & Burgess, D. (1994). Disseminating Information: A Method for Human Service Practitioners. New Technology in the Human Services, 7(4), 9-14.
Abstract: The authors describe a research project designed to assist practitioners in the acquisition and use of information in the delivery of clinical services. Through the use of hypertext principles a database was developed for use by parents and practitioners involved in the provision of care and support for intellectually disabled women, specifically in the area of menstruation management. The authors note the database was found to be a useful resource by those using it and that hypertext applications "are suitable for a wide range of materials that workers and others involved in the delivery of rehabilitation services could use, both for help in direct practice and as an educational aid." (p. 14). *.
