IBM CD-ROM network

[Janice Shea <REGIHS@QUCDN.QUEENSU.CA>]

This is always the best place for information,
so I'm posting my question here.  Apologies if
this has been dealt with frequently in the past.

I am setting up a small (5-8 station) IBM
network in the library to run cd-rom's only (things
like Discovering Authors, SIRS, Information Finder,
etc.).

Is anyone out there doing a similar thing?
If so, would you share information with me
about the type of cd-rom drivers you are
using, the backbone, the filesharing software,
costs, experiences good and bad?  I am a Mac
person, to whom the whole IBM world is a great
Mystery!  BTW, we are not very well off $wise,
and would like something that is neither too
complex nor too expensive.

Thanks, all you NETTERS.  You're my lifeline
