Re: GEN: CD-ROM Vendors

[Joan Kimball <jkim@BORG.COM>]

I recommend two general vendors who are very reliable:
Educational Resources...800-624-2926  (has one of the largest catalogs and
some of the lowest prices)
Laser Learning Technologies....800-722-3505

Most CD-ROMs are available from the above. However, for certain popular
CD-ROMs you'll need to go to the producer, for example, World
Book...800-621-8202
EBSCO for Middle Search, 800-653-2726,  SIRS for SIRS Discoverer,
800-232-7477, Grolier for Encyclopedia Americana 800-243-7256
