Thermistors

Hi all,
Time to quit lurking and ask a question. I bought a number of
"thermistors" from the Shack a few years ago when they were on sale.  I
intended to use them for temp comp in an exponential convertor for a
VCO.  I have no idea how I was going to do this as I am totally
incompetent as far as electronic design is concerned. So far I have not
found any circuits for them on the web, used in this fashion. 

These little gems are marked "Thermistor 10K +/- 1% @ 25deg C".  The
very skimpy datasheet that came with them just gives a resistance
measurement at different temperatures.  The range is from 329.2K @ -50
to 0.7579K @ +110 centigrade.  Physically they are small blue beads with
white tips - they look like tiny tantalum caps.

Would it be possible to use these in VCOs?  Anyone got a suitable
circuit?
Thanks.
