Exegy vs. Facts on File World News CD-ROM

[ANITA PFLUGER <anita@MAIL1.NAI.NET>]

I subscribed to Exegy this past year and was pleased with the amount and
currency of information. However, not as many students used it as I would
have liked. A salesman visited the other day and spoke to me about Facts on
File World News CD-ROM. Seems like the articles are longer and more
in-depth. In addition, it brings in information from their "Issues and
Controversies" series.

Does anyone have experience with either of these programs? Which, in your
opinion, is the more useful product for a comprehensive high school of 850+
students? They are just about the same price, so that really will not be
the deciding factor for me.

TIA for any information, tips, or suggestions.
