Abstract
Australian medical libraries are enthusiastic users of medical information on CD-ROM. At the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research we have successfully networked MEDLINE on CD-ROM to over 50 APPLE MACINTOSH computers. This paper will describe the rationale behind the decision to network, the technical aspects involved in the process, and discuss points for and against the concept of end-user searching on CD-ROM networks.
