- I'd like to perform a literature search. The sort of thing we used to do
- at a library with volumes and volumes of indexed abstracts (like the
- Engineering index for example). Nowadays we use CD databases, and for
- the most current and up to date info, our librarian dials a mob by the
- name of DIALOG in California somewhere, for on-line searches.
-
- It occurs to me that such a facility may well be on-line on the
- internet somewhere in the glorious day and age of ours. Am I right?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Bernd.
