     Cross-posted.     Hey y'all,   Our library subscribes to several
online databases of journal and  newspaper articles in full-text via the
Internet.  EBSCOhost and Infotrac  Searchbank are two of them.  We have
CD-ROM products, too.  Our  EBSCOhost service provides over 900 journal
titles with full-text articles...It  is noted that all articles in each
issue of these titles are provided in  full-text, except editorials and
ads.  Is this true for those of you with  these products?  Do accrediting
agencies such as SACS recognized these  titles in this format.  Or, is
there a problem with providing certain  journal titles (not all) ONLY in
electronic format?   Please reply to me.   Thanks in advance.
