At NVCTC in Connecticut, we have been happily using Ebsco's Academic
Abstracts on our LAN, but are now considering either EbscoHost online or
UMI's ProQuest online to either replace or supplement the CDs.  We are
very interested to know whether other libraries are at this decision-making
juncture and what they think of these two online products.  Also, if
anyone has found any articles comparing the major periodical indices'
electronic formats (CDs, online versions); I've done some preliminary
searching and not found anything.
