Dialog is available through the Internet.  If you have an account with
Dialog, it's cheaper to access through Internet than directly.  If you
don't, the school rates are only $18 an hour, I think.  That's the last I
remember.  To subscribe, call 1-800-3-dialog.  To get to Dialog via the
internet, I'm pretty sure it's just telnet dialog.com, but you can ask them
when you call.

Dialog is a database service that indexes periodicals and journals in an
incredible variety of fields.  It's great for searching for information on
term papers, but it's "old style" and only somewhat friendly - which means
not very.

Good luck, it's an excellent service.  The problem is that I don't think
that BIP is available on the school selection of databases and it would
probably be very expensive the other way.  I can't find my price list at
the moment.  Be sure to ask when you call.
