List members may be interested in the following response we have received
from Dialog.
This means we would have to have a direct subscription with CSA if we wanted
ASSIA. But I'm sure if there was sufficient demand for it, the Core Content
Group can manage the extra administration!
So perhaps we won't be able to search it via a unified interface. I'm
convinced the social care practitioners (not to mention the librarians
involved) would rather have it to search separately than not have it at all!
Anyway, this is now over to you all.
