Abstract
The design and development phase of a computerized faculty research profile information system (RPIS) at Case Western Reserve University is documented in detail. The events leading up to the decision to develop such a system are summarized as well. Presented as documentation are a systems analysis, identification of data elements, user's manual, implementation proposal and budget, a copy of the faculty questionnaire to be used and supporting exhibits. The role of each organization involved in implementing RPIS and the means to be utilized for evaluating the system's performance are discussed.
