- Abstract
- Compton's encyclopedia 1997 is available both on CD-ROM and online through the consumer online service America Online. Reviews the 1997 edition of the CD-ROM, highlighting its improvements in software. The online version should be used only for current information as its multimedia content and access is very poor

- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
