Re: Broadcast News

Some of us saw the BROADCAST NEWS booth at AASL - and it is an impressive
program.

Question:  how does this format compare for coverage, cost, convenience,
etc. with NEWSBANK (with fiche) and INFOTRACK (with fiche)?  I do not
want students removed from the search process entirely - and it is
beneficial for them to seek the fiche - analyze the content - decide if
it is pertinent and worth printing, etc.

How many of these units can we afford?  When do they overlap and become
duplications?

Other impressions and recommendations are welcome!
