Summary Tb address the inability of the elderly to travel for shopping, a scheme of teleshopping for social service clients was developed and tested in Gateshead and Bradford. Both schemes included information services and met with considerable success. After government cutbacks, private industry moved in, building on the public experience. Resistance to teleshopping services relate to psychological reasons, traditional elderly services, and other factors, but future possibilities for expansion in the public sector are being explored.

Summary The use of information technology has reached the professional care for mentally handicapped. Students in schools of social work in the Netherlands will use a prototype of a care information system, learning to appreciate these applications for planning and evaluating the care process. Curriculum material will be developed according to the Dutch ‘National’ Curriculum Computer Applications for schools of social work.

Summary This paper describes two interactive video disc programs that have been designed to teach social work practice skills. One program is designed to teach students how to apply crisis concepts in a simulated interview with a client, and the other program is designed to teach students how to assess institutional racism and sexism in an agency context The purpose in presenting diese two programs is to demonstrate how interactive video can be used as a training tool in social work education, and also to encourage other educators and trainers to begin to develop their own interactive video programs.

Summary As human service waiters implement computerized information technologies, they operate in areas in which problems of power, de-personalization, and the invasion of privacy are central. In attempting to understand and resolve these issues, studies of computer ethics deal with moral values, economic policy, and other social change impacts associated with computerization. Unfortunately, the diffuse focus of ethical discourse in computing is contusing. This paper, in clarifying the relation of “computer ethics” to issues of personal freedom, social control, and social inequality, seeks to provide human service workers and other professional computer specialists with a framework for identifying the social effects and moral dimensions of computerization.

Summary Graduate social work curricula and human service organizations (HSOs) are behind in the use of current information technology (IT) for professional social work practice. Knowledge and use of computer run client advocacy based management information systems (CAMIS) are key prerequisites to the management of professional practice in HSOs. Discussion is augmented by focus on an automated CAMIS (IBM-PC, Rbase) used in the classroom as well as agency settings. Software demos are available.

Summary This paper describes the current situation of computer education in the schools of social work in the Netherlands, new policy in curriculum development, and the development of a new comprehensive curriculum on computer applications. The basic philosophy of the curriculum and a firm relation to social work practice are discussed. To illustrate these developments, an outline of the curriculum for social casework is presented as a kind of status report.
