GEN: Full Text Databases review

[Melissa Davis <mbdavis@tenet.edu>]

This past spring there was an extensive discussion on LM_NET about
full-text databases and whether they could/should replace our print
copies. Here is a scholarly article that studied that very thing:

"How Full is the Full in Full-Text?: A comparative study of paper
periodicals with their web-based equivalents in the Ebsco, Information
Access Company (IAC), UMI, and Wilson databases" by Carol Franck and
Holly Chambers of SUNY Potsdam. Presented at ALA Annual Conference June
27, 1998.
