Abstract	The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) established a committee to study the applicability of SIGI's (System of Interactive Guidance and Information) occupational data base to NTID's curriculum research and career counseling needs. (SIGI is an Educational Testing Service--ETS--system which applies computer technology to assist hearing clients in the career decisionmaking process.) To evaluate SIGI's potential usefulness to NTID, answers to the following questions were sought: What sources and methods are used within SIGI to obtain occupational information? How often, and in what way, is this data base updated? Does SIGI portray more information than is currently available through standard sources? Is SIGI an effective means of collating current labor market information? To answer these questions, ETS literature on SIGI was reviewed, ETS personnel concerned with the SIGI occupational data base were questioned, and local directors of a nationally dispersed set of SIGI field demonstration sites were contacted by telephone. Because of the low percentage of occupations in SIGI that related to NTID training programs, and since the SIGI data base did not seem to add to the prepared career counselor's arsenal of occupational information, it was recommended that plans for application of the data base to the NTID program should not be pursued.
