The personal computer has had an enormous impact on our society during its short life span. Microcomputer sales are soaring; costs continue to decrease putting the computer within the reach of nearly everyone. Schools have rapidly begun to acquire hardware and software to aid teachers in the educational process. The infusion of computers into the schools extends upward into higher education. College faculty are becoming increasingly aware that the computer is going to have some impact in every discipline. The fact that computer literacy objectives are being established for students in many institutions makes faculty even more aware that they, too, must become computer literate. In trying to meet the literacy needs of faculty some questions arise: What is computer literacy? What should the content of a faculty computer literacy program be? How much is enough? Who will provide for the computer education of faculty? The purpose of this paper is to provide answers to some of these questions.
