Re: SEC: SIRS users

I have the full-text CD for SIRS and made the decision to stop purchasing
the print version.  I could not afford both and I also had no more room
for the binders.  The only part I miss is having the charts, but I have
learned to live without them.  I am fortunate to have a schoolwide lan
with a dozen computers in the media center, so several students can access
the database at once.  If you only have one or two computers, you might
want to continue to get the print version if you can afford both.  The
searching capability of the electronic version is extremely powerful and
so much easier to use than the print indexes.
