2500 Software Programs

Description:
This disc contains 2,500 different software programs.  If you are thinking about simply listing the names of these programs on your printer, make sure you have plenty of paper -- the listing alone goes on for over 40 pages.  There is something for just about anyone who uses an IBM or compatible personal computer and is interested in exploring available shareware and freeware programs.Software in a wide range of application and utility areas is packaged on this disc, including:  line and text editing, data communications, personal and business finance, hard disk utilities, graphics, device drivers, educational programs, word processors, macros, spreadsheet templates, databases, accounting and bookkeeping, source code, games (we lost count of the number of spacewar-type games), and miscellaneous programming utilities.Instead of investing hundreds of dollars in a mainstream software package, it often makes more sense to see what software is available in the public domain.  No more long-term logons to bulletin boards, no more collections of floppy disk software, no more hard disks cluttered with miscellaneous programs.  The low price of this disc means that you can try out these programs for less than a nickel each!

You now have access to the latest data on approximately 43,000 individuals in the information community - through the Directory of Information Professionals database.

Its development was a collaborative project of Research Publications and the  (American Library Association), with special participation of the Special Libraries Association, American Society for Information Science, Information Industry Association, Medical Library Association, Canadian Library Association, and 20 other library and information associations in North America.

Not only does the directory include addresses and phone numbers, employer name and type, professional and subject specialties, employment history, but there's even educational history and degrees held, freelance/consulting specialties, foreign language skills, and other important biographical data!

There are a wide range of applications for which this database is virtually indispensible, including: 

 • Recruitment of staff,  freelance 
     employees and consultants 

 • Association committee    
     nominations and program 
     planning

 • Author and speaker    
     identification

 • Market analysis and contract  
     development
 
 • Research, demographic    
     analysis, and surveys and
     Ready-reference information   
     requests.
