Abstract | The origin and continuation of the futures research seminar at the School of Education of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are discussed. The continuing research seminar takes place throughout the calendar year for students who wish to use futures research methods in their dissertations. One of the major projects of the seminar is the development of an environmental scanning database. Each student is assigned specific journals and newspapers to scan in order to augment the data gathered by students. Each student is also assigned one or more professional journal(s) to search for pertinent literature dealing with a number of categories describing the methodological and substantive scope of the seminar. Each student is assigned categories of the literature database to maintain. This responsibility includes abstracting articles in that category for insertion in the electronic literature database. The software support systems and the ED QUEST planning model that can be employed by students are briefly considered. Included are: the environmental scanning taxonomy, a list of seminar information resources, criteria and instructions for abstracting, a list of journals scanned for futures research database, and literature database categories. 14 references.
