- Abstract
- Users with unlimited Web access can now access a wide range of reference materials and consumer guides thus avoiding the expense of buying them on CD-ROMs. Nevertheless, some CD-ROMs provide significant extras to Web products. Reviews the Complete National Geographic, the Leonardo database and FDR (Rossevelt) from Corbis, Grolier's Picasso, Dorling Kindersley's The Ultimate Human Body, Microsoft's Virtual Globe, Rand McNally's New Millennium World Atlas, the 4 encyclopedias: Compton, Grolier, Encarta and World Book, the combined reference tool Bookshelf'98 and the game, Riven by Broderbund

- 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
- 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
