The Organization and Planning subseries is important for documenting internal studies, reorganizations and methodologies for long-term planning. "Topical Task Force Reports," for example, summarize in 1990 statistics support, scientific computation, applications in use, electronic mail, the evolution of MTS (Michigan Terminal System), the university library's online bibliographic system (MIRLYN), staff morale, and staff training and development.

Proposals and Reports are each a rich source in this series for data documenting the Computing Center's proactive culture and energy for adaptation to changing technology. Proposals provide information on the germination of ideas, technical requirements, and clearly synthesized background for projects envisioned and both realized and unrealized. Reports (mostly unpublished) include detailed documentation for systems and software and thorough technical descriptions for special projects. Researchers should note that the Computing Center published a large number of significant technical reports. They are part of the University of Michigan Computing Center Publications record group.
