    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
    Discusses CD-ROM interfaces. The majority of CD-ROM databases are offered in one version with only one user interface. This is very different from online where many of the databases are available through the software of several online services. The trend of making available one datafile with different user interfaces is likely to accelerate in 1993 when many of the exclusive agreements between database publishers and CD-ROM producers expire. Covers standards including that of the information handling committee of the US intelligence community, CDx, SilverPlatter, DXS, the Special Interest group of CD-ROM Applications and Technology, CD-ROM Consistent Interface Committee and DIALOG, Jaunty Access to CD-ROM through Simulation On-the-Fly

    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
    Reviews online and CD-ROM versions of Information Science Abstracts. This abstracting and indexing service focuses on information and computer science. As well as journals it covers patents, monographs, proceedings and conference papers. Highlights a number of problems with its coverage: gaps and premature terminations, duplicate records, and lack of controlles vocabulary for the first 20 years. Compares it to LISA. Assesses the DIALOG version, and the SilverPlatter version. Prefers the CD-ROM version over the online on grounds of cost

    Abstract
    The 1st of 3 articles discussing the reasons why Web database publishing is a growing trend and the options available for moving databases from desktops to the Web. Reasons concern accessibility, paper saving, distribution costs and the desire to reduce reliance on traditional database publishers. Advises on various types of database management programs which provide for HTML output, and their applications to, e.g. library acquisitions and bibliographies. Distinguishes between server-side and user-side extensions and reviews a number of relevant products

    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
    Reviews the CD-ROM and online database version of the abstracting and indexing service LISA. Highlights a few limitations of content of the records, and traces recent changes. The CD-ROM version offers a powerful, advanced version of Bowker search software. The online version is available on Dialog, but some of its power search features are not available on LISA. The CD-ROM is preferable to the online version because of its better browsing and display options and also because, unusually, it was more current

    Abstract
    Discusses the merits of DVD-ROM as a medium for the storage of large quantities of text, numeric, and multimedia data. Focuses on the performance of DVD-ROM, including transfer rates, access time, and storage capacity. DVD-ROM provides a 4,7 GB storage capacity with transfer rates equivalent to a CD-ROM's 20x or 24x, or 3 MB/sec to 3,6 MB/sec, and access times of between 150 and 220 ms. DVD-ROM could become a viable alternative to CD-ROM if the MPEG-2 and Dolby AC3 decoder became options, significantly reducing the cost of the base drive for those whose information storage needs do not require them. Compares image quality, product, and price of CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. DVD-ROM would be a good solution for publishers of multi-volume CD-ROM titles

    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
