We have Sirs Researcher, Sirs Gov Reporter and are testing Sirs
Renaissance.  I think they are great.  The students use them constantly.
We have TOM, the microfilm index and the kids don't use it much.
Probably because it isn't computer based. Anyway, I recommend SIRS
products highly for a 7-12 media center.  No extra charge to put it on a
LAN and if you use it on a stand alone, they provide a second copy of the
CD-ROM for free to use in the same building.
