The CD-ROM revolution

Enhancing CD-ROM Searches

Many academic researchers are interested in obtaining the most current information available when conducting computerized literature searches. A research project was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of providing an online updating service to end-users searching CD-ROM databases. Searchers using Silver Platter's Agricola database were asked to participate in the study. End-user searching st...

Creating Virtual CD-ROM Collections

Over the past 20 years, more than 100,000 CD-ROM titles have been published including thousands of collections of government documents and data. CD-ROMs present preservation challenges at the bit level and in ensuring usability of the preserved artifact. We present techniques we have developed to archive and support user access to a collection of approximately 2,900 CD-ROMs published under the ...

Medline base – CD - rom – retrieval

Scientific information has been growing at an exponential level, and each year over 300.000 references are added to Medline base. There is now a growing interest on the bioinformatics researches to find ways to improve the ability to find relevant documents in the literature and to extract specific kinds of information from these documents (1,2). Medline, one of the gamestones of medical scient...

10ARSPC Template for Proceedings on CD ROM

Remote sensing has shown promise for predicting grain protein content for winter cereals, with satellite image data acquired near flowering, being significantly correlated with grain protein of wheat and barley crops. The use of commercially available satellite or airborne imagery to map grain protein content would allow growers and marketers the ability to evaluate crop performance and provide...
