Title

Full-text and bibliographical databases on CD-ROM in research libraries : costs, services and technology

Abstract

Article adapted from a paper presented at a workshop on CD-ROM issues: CD-ROM challenges and opprotunities: issues of concern to librarians; sponsored by the Section of Social Science Libraries, 59th IFLA Council and General Conference, Barcelona, Spain, 22-28 Aug 93. Discusses service, cost and technology implications of investments in CD-ROM databases in research libraries and concludes that CD-ROM databases should be considered an integral part of the libraries' services, next to OPACs, and therefore they should be subject to the same critical evaluation as other services. Preliminary remarks about evaluation of online and CD-ROM services, regarding quality and availability, are followed by a discussion of costs which, although not seeming prohibitive at first, may grow as the library encounters difficult technological problems in its CD-ROM development
