new list also discusses the Webscript CGI application and auto logon scripts. To
subscribe, send an e-mail message to listserv@oclc.org with this command in the body of
the message: subscribe WEBSCRIPT-L [your-first-name your-last-name].

MEDLINE Express Continues to Expand
SilverPlatter Information continues to add discs to its MEDLINE Express database.
Libraries using the entire database (1966-1997) should plan on 15 CDs in the latest set,
an increase of three over last year. So that you can anticipate future growth, SilverPlatter
officials announced they expect the database to expand by about one disc each year. The
additional discs allow SilverPlatter to accommodate new features incorporated in the
1997 edition. These new features are outlined in the new edition's accompanying
documentation.
If you have questions or want to subscribe to any reference database -- CD-ROM, online
or Internet-accessible -- contact Jim Hensinger or Karen Graham
