SEC: author CDROMs on network

[Gloria Bush <bushg@oreo.aspire.cs.uah.edu>]

LM_Netters:

        For the past few months we have been using Gale's DISCovering
Authors on our schoolwide LAN.  Our students and faculty really like the
program's content, but the program requires so much memory that we
experience frequent conflict with other programs on our computers.  We are
running Internet access and MOLLI as well as two other CD databases on the
network.

        I would appreciate hearing from anyone who (1) has experienced
this problem and solved it, or (2) runs another author database of
literary criticism successfully schoolwide, especially Twayne's DiscLit or
the Scribner writer series.  Any suggestions are welcome.
