Abstract
Considers the effect of increased use of CD-ROM on the research and studies of graduate students and faculty. Examines whether the literature is being adequately reviewed with CD-ROM searches. Considers how much chronological coverage is required for a thourough literature search and discusses whether following the trail of citations backwards from a recent paper is an effective substitute for a search in the primary literature itself. It is essential that searchers are educated in the strengths and weaknesses of CD-ROM coverage
