    Abstract
    Information professionals have observed that Web-based interfaces simplify database searching and are preferred over other interfaces. A further anecdotal observation is that their features, in comparison to other interfaces, enhance the quality of search sessions, resulting in better outcomes. One explanation is that Web interfaces ease the negative emotive forces searchers experience with other interfaces. This paper examines the challenges in designing a research method to test the validity of these assumptions and observations. Although Web interfaces may provide a more supportive search setting, particularly for less experienced searchers, there is no evidence they contribute to better search outcomes

    Abstract
    Discusses the factors influencing remote access to CD-ROMs: how many CD-ROM workstations are located at the place of work (single or multiple workstations); whether a PC or a CD-ROM LAN is in operation; what level of security is needed in the organisation; how many remote users need to be accomodated; and the level of software sophistication present in the staff of the organisation
