<p>Oops - I should have opened your link before sharing my own
article. I wasn't aware that Turoff even knew about Bush/Memex,
let alone that he wrote about it, in the context of EIES. Shame on
me, for not seeing the connection!<br>

<p>Sadly, he passed away last month, but most if not all of his
work is archived on NJIT websites.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Evan,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I assume you've been in touch with Murray Turroff. Here's
one of his papers just in case you don't have it. <a

moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://www.loopcntr.net/repository/1016.pdf</a>.
I have several others in the History of Computing in
Learning and Education archive. Check out <a
href="http://hcle.org" moz-do-not-send="true">hcle.org</a> for
a small sample of the documents I'm trying to scan and make
accessible.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By the way, there's no way I can finish the HCLE project
by myself in the time I have left on this earth. If any of
you readers are interested in researching and documenting
how computing and education have intersected between 1960
and 1990, please contact me. I have at least 50 potential
dissertations sitting in storage.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Cheers,</div>

<p>Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! Tonight I'm
teaching my students about the origins of graphical
interfaces, and realized that I didn't have a good
answer ready to the question of, "But what inspired
Bush?"</p>
<p>I am quickly reading Smith, Googling about
Otlet/Goldberg, and running to our university library to
get Burke's book.<br>
