Abstract:

Twenty Australian academic libraries participated in a recent survey of the use of CD-ROM products in their acquisitions sections. While CD-ROM technology was found to be one of the main utilities used in acquisitions, it was evident that not all available functions were fully utilised by acquisitions staff, The project focused on the following issues: the most widely used CD-ROM products, preferred applications, searching techniques employed, preferred attributes, and desired future developments in CD-ROM capabilities.
