[WEB4LIB] RE: RealPage Plugin

[Donald Barclay]

There are RealPage documents on the Catchword website:

http://www.catchword.com/


Catchword provides full-text access to various journals. The original
Catchword plan was to offer full text in RealPage format only, but so many
librarians (including me) screamed that articles are offered in both
RealPage and .PDF format.
