***Business Databases on the Web***
Wednesday 23rd September 1998, 09.30-16.30
IT Skills Suite, Aston University Library, Birmingham
The Internet is used by many business information providers to deliver
both free and "paidfor" services. The recent spate of mergers and
acquisitions in the information world, combined with restructuring of both
services and prices, has encouraged many users to explore alternatives.
This seminar will review current developments on the Net. It will cover
direct access to database providers on the web, free and subscription
services, information "malls", and search tools that also provide access
to business information.
