    Abstract
    Initial report from an ongoing study which aims to form a framework for understanding and rating multimedia products. Introduces multimedia, sets out a continuum for it and gives a brief history of the medium. Sets out a general evaluation framework for electronic materials. Multimedia adds a further layer of complexity to evaluation particularly in content, indexing and user interface

    Abstract
    Reviews and compares the 2 major CD-ROM directory databases covering available CD-ROM databases: CD-ROMs in prit, published by Meckler Co.; and CD-ROM directory, published by TFPL Publ. Covers: system requirements, scope, coverage and overlap, data collection, data structure, saerchable indexes, subject indexing, special indexes, record content, searching power, ease of use, output capabilities, terms of availability, documentation, help and technical support, and related information products. Concludes that neither product has a fatal flaw of any sort, each has its own special strenghts, one or more of which may provide the basis for preferring one over the other

    Abstract
    Traces double change in ownership of the Multimedia and CD-ROM Directory, now over 10 years old and reviews the 1998 edition under the imprint Waterlow New Media Information. Also describes Waterlows new specialised tool, the DVD Directory. The Gale Directory of Databases and Bowker's World Databases might be suitable alternatives to certain users but the Waterlow product should be the first choice for libraries seeking a source of directory information related to CD-ROM
