Abstract
This paper reviews the current situation in the online database industry and describes various aspects of this market (online databases, providers, host computers, gateways, document suppliers). The paper also discusses the development of some user-friendly services (Dialog Medical Connection, BRS/ Colleague) available in particular to the biomedical community. The second section of this paper describes in detail a range of databases available both online and on CD Rom for use in the cardiology sector. A comparison is made between the two media.
