Please excuse any duplication due to cross posting. 

KE Software is pleased to announce the general availability of the
following Web-based database applications, developed in collaboration with
the CTW Library Consortium (Connecticut College, Trinity College and
Wesleyan University):

* Books in Print
This database of 1,616,495 in-print records is fully indexed and keyword
searchable by author, title, subject, publisher, date of publication, ISBN,
series and children-related fields. Utilities are provided to load the
database from the original Bowker MARC data. Out of print records may be
loaded at the user's discretion. Extensive navigational links through
author, title, subject etc. are provided. HTML screens, fields and search
capabilities may be customized to site's specific requirements.

* Oxford English Dictionary
This database of 291,592 records provides indexed, keyword searches by
headword, etymology, quotation (entire quote, quoted author, quoted work,
quoted date and quoted text) and entire entry. Phonetic and grammatically
stemmed searches are supported. Utilities are provided to load and index
the source SGML OED files.

A third application, the Chadwyck Healey Old English Poetry database (SGML
source data), will be available shortly.

Sites wishing to purchase these database applications may make them
available on their own Internet or Intranet sites, subject to licensing
restrictions of the source data.

These database applications are available on virtually all Unix platforms
(AIX, SCO, Solaris, HP/UX, Digital OSF, Linux and more) and shortly on
Windows NT. For further information, see http://wwww.kesoftware.com or
