- Abstract
- Reviews the current market for CD-ROM databases with particular reference to the online versus CD-ROM versus print debate. Concludes that the most likely scenario is a steady convergence of technologies, at least until the end of the century. Review the current and the most likely future developments in the area of CD-ROM database contents, software, hardware, and marketing. Concludes that users will choose databases on the basis of such factors as: ease of use; power of use; storage and delivery capacity; quality; functionaliy; timeliness; overall appeal; and real cost, not just price. Lists the most likely candidates for successful CD-ROM database development; not yet available. Concludes that Windows user faces will steadily replace DOS based systems, but not unless the Windows replacements are truly better and not just different. Recommends that both Windows and DOS interfaces be loaded onto the same CD-ROM with each database allowing the user to choose which to use. Reviews likely developments in CD-ROM hardware and marketing strategies

- Abstract
- Smart retrieval software can have more impact on response time than a faster CD-ROM drive. This can be shown easily now that more commerical databases are being released in several versions with practically identical content but different software. Illustrates this with 3 versions of the PAIS database, comparing the original OCSI, SPIRS software, and EBSCO software. Whereas the OCSI version took no more than a few seconds, the other 2 versions took around 10times longer, occasionally in the order of minutes. Considers how the construction of these products can account for such speed differences. However, search facilities and other features should be considered as well as speed. Offers advice for testing retrieval software

- Abstract
- A detailed description of how to use Java applets and Common Gateway Interface (CGI)/Dynamic Link Library (DLL) programs for Web publication of textual databases. The advantages of Java applets include low cost, flexible and visually appealing search interfaces, and the ability to be embedded in HTML pages, eliminating the need for Internet service provider permissions for their use. Highlights the FindIt family of Java applets from DoubleOLogic as one of the best product lines in the category. CGI programs may be written in Perl, Java, or some other language, and like DLL programs, must be installed on the server side. Notes that small-scale CGI and DLL applications cost from $150 to $8,000. Highlights Insight from Enigma Inc. as an excellent program at the high end of the cost range

- Abstract
- Recommends for libraries the use of some of the features of HTML 3.2 as the least expensive and sometimes the only feasible approach to making an existing database available on the Web, referring to the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography as an excellent illustration of what can be achieved. Describes how to apply HTML using the example of a Web prototype of an abstracting and indexing database of 12 volumes of 'Processes in Hawaii', created as part of a course in library and information science at the University of Hawaii. Explains the choosing of primary access points, linking, anchoring references to make the browser jump and show the exact section of the document where a name or term appears, and framing to retain displays simultaneously on the screen

- Abstract
- Confirms the accuracy of a prediction 4 years ago that the CD-ROM graphic interfaces then available would be rivalled in online. Many Web based services now outperform CD-ROM models and magazine pages often look better on the Web than on CD-ROM. Desirable, but not widely available, is the facility to download data from CD-ROM databases. The best CD-ROM authority and retrieval software packages with impressible capabilities remain expensive but there are reasonably priced alternatives for Web publishing and database searching, many of which are derived from CD-ROM originals. A new software development which allows replication of Web sites on CD-ROM will feature in articles in future issues of 'Information today'

- Abstract
- State of the art review of the criteria used to judge and evaluate the quality of databases, including: content, ease of use, accessibility, customer support, documentation, and value to cost ratio. Concludes that the principle factor governing quality is content, defined by the scope and the coverage of the database and its currency, accuracy, consistency and completeness. Scope is determined by its composition and coverage, including time period, number of periodicals and other primary sources, number of articles and geographic and language distribution. Currency is measured by the time lag between publication of the primary source and availability of the corresponding records in the database. Accuracy is governed by the extent to which the records are free from errors of all types. Consistency depends on the extent to which records within the database follow the same rules. Completeness is measured by the consistency with which applicable data elements are assigned to all the records in the database. Reviews the major contributions to the literature in the field and summarizes the background of milestone studies

- Abstract
- 1997 saw fierce competition among the publishers of print, CD-ROM and online telephone directories in the USA. Considers whether it is worth buying any white pages CD-ROM now that such information is freely available over the Internet. compares 3 versions of the white pages information based on American Business Information (ABI) data: American Directory Assistance (Http://www.lookupusa.com); InfoSpace (http://www.infospace.com); and the 7-disc CD-ROM database PhoneSearch 3.0. Concludes that for casual use such as looking up names, the Web databases are much more efficient. The CD-ROM version may be better for those who regularly want to compile mailing lists and phone lists to target a district

- Abstract
- Full text databases often cannot substitute for the original print document because they include only the plain text, but not the figures, charts, tables, and screen shots that are useful and sometimes essential for understanding the article. Discusses 3 recently released page-image databases on CD-ROM. UMI's ProQuest Medical Library includes searchable bibliographic records and abstracts for about 120 medical and nursing journals as well as the facsimile of the articles with users able to view the articles in full-page format, just as they first appeared in print: ADONIS Electronic Journal Subscription Services CD offers 400 biomedical journals in CD-ROM page-image format; and Optipat's OptiDisk Custom CD-ROMs provide a customizable service for US patents where customers can order US patents in text only, or image only, or in text and image format with or without a searchable index by submitting the patent numbers required
