Looks at issues of database or file duplication between CD‐ROM and online services like Firstsearch, establishing card sales policies and procedures plus increased file usage. Demonstrates how librarians conducted a Firstsearch field test, advertised the Firstsearch Catalog, and balanced what was expressed as a choice between access to more than 20 databases and accepting a novice interface.
