Dialog Web

[Nancy L. George]

We tried this a little while ago (currently we have FirstSearch, EBSCO,
IAC, SilverPlatter Web based products) and might even get it through a
consortium type deal.  I remember the user interface having the potential
to be a bit confusing for patrons.  However, I also remember it being
packed with some pretty good databases.
