recent discussion of WWW cataloging?

[Ann King]

To Tom Eland (and others concerned about indexing the PRINT literature)
There are excellent indexes to almost all of the world's scientific
literature.  H.W. Wilson is only a small part of the indexing world.
SilverPlatter is a vendor who supplies many indexes (Bibliography of
Agriculture, Biological Abstracts are only two examples) in electronic
form.  They will be providing these and many other indexes to the print
literature to the Internet through ERL technology shortly.  (At a cost)

It is the cost of most indexes that make literature to some degree
inaccessible.  (Back to Economics 101)

Also, SilverPlatter is just one of several vendors that may be doing
this.  annking at nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu
