Information on CD-ROMs

Article Abstract:

CD-ROM databases are a good way of procuring safety related information. More than 140 CD-ROMS available in the UK provide either bibliographic information or the entire text of articles. By paying for the subscription cost of the CD-ROMS, users with CD-ROM drives in the personal computers, can search for a variety of information. The one time subscription fee makes it less stressful than on-line searching were telephone and network connection charges are involved.
