We are currently trying to decide whether to switch from RLG to Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. Although I personnally don't like the CSA interface very much it has three advantages for us that may also apply to other institutions: - Athens authentication - cross-searching with other databases that we subscribe to on CSA including DAAI and ABM - a direct link to the RefWorks database which we also subscribe to Nicola Bonnick Subject Team Leader (Art, Design & Music) Kingston University Priority: NORMAL Date sent: Thu, 13 May 2004 13:36:58 +0100 Send reply to: Margaret Black <[log in to unmask]> From: Margaret Black <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Avery on CSA To: [log in to unmask] Dear Arclibers, It's been brought to my attention that Avery is now available through CSA. They are also offering a 30 day free trial. I subscribe to Avery through RLG, but don't know if I should change. Has anyone got anything they can add to help with this decision?
