Re: SEC:cd-rom magazines

Deborah,

I have used the CD-ROM magazine Proquest for the past 2 years and the
students love it.  It is very user friendly and much easier to locate
materials than the Reader's Guide.  My magazine order has been virtually
eliminated except for main titles such as Time, Newsweek, U.S. News &
World Report, etc.  The magazines are no longer available for browsing at
our school due to discipline problems & abuse so cd-rom magazines have
been the answer here since magazines are only used for research.
