Hello Ian & Linda,
I would like to add that The Dialog Corporation also offers linking to the
fulltext for both the OnDisc CD-ROM Databases and also the Datastar Online
Files.
The link to the OnDisc databases is called GOLDeDOCs and is free of charge.
Using DataStar Web e-Journal Links is also free however a small set-up and
maintenance fee does exist here. If anybody would like additional
information on this, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Ursula
