Abstract

In the light of InfoSeek's extremely lucrative contract with Disney, analyses how it has made such a success of developing an Internet business through advertising revenues, and the imporatnce of powerful search engines. Reports 2 other deals by Internet search companies: NBC's purchase of a minority stake in the portal Snap!, owned by the Computer Network, Inc. and Yahoo's acquisition of Internet Mall and Viaweb which enable it to launch Yahoo Store hosting commerce sites on behalf of other companies allowing them to sell over the Internet. Outlines the possible consequences for users of these developments and of the possibility of Internet startups selling up and quitting the scene

Abstract

Many information professionals feel that the time is still far off when the WWW can offer the combined funtionality and content of traditional online and CD-ROM databases, but there have been a number of recent Web developments to reflect on. Describes the testing and launch by Ovid of its Java client which, in effect, allows access to its databases on the Web with full search functionality, and the initiative of Euromonitor in providing Web access to its whole collection of consumer research reports and its entire database of business sources. Also reviews the service of a newcomer to the information scene, Information Quest (IQ) founded by Dawson Holdings which has made an agreement with Infonautics to offer access to its Electric Library database thus adding over 1.000 reference, consumer and business publications to its Web based journal service
