The implementation of CCDs on Schmidt telescopes is discussed, including the capabilities of such systems and the new types of observations that they facilitate. An analysis of the demand for and use of the CCD system on the Burrell Schmidt is presented. Some examples of scientific investigations accomplished with Schmidt CCD systems are given. The future evolution of CCD capabilities on Schmidt telescopes is discussed.
