Finally this vast and complex body of information will be fed into computers, indexed, and fur- ther made available at the U.S. Office of Education and, hope- fully, at the Library of Congress. In the past, a researcher on the Middle East spent most of his time hunting for source materials in various parts of the world, Prof. Mansoor pointed out, "and much of it was inaccessible because of distance and language barriers. He rarely had enough time left to study and evaluate the materials if found." The Wisconsin study attempts to reverse that order, Mansoor con- tinued, "to supply the scholar with all the source material he needs and let him spend all his time studying and evaluating." He called special attention to the fully completed computerized index which will list and cross list some 120,000 events, 35,000 documents and 18,000 individuals. "Without the computers, it would have taken 20 more years to complete the work and doubled the required budget and staff." Mansoor, chairman of Wiscon- sin's department of Hebrew and Semitic studies ever since it was established on the Madison campus in 1955, teaches and conducts re- search in both modern and ancient . languages of the Middle East.
