Searching The Times, The Guardian and The Independent on CD‐ROM Available to Purchase

The full‐text of the major UK quality newspapers — The Times and Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Independent and The Independent on Sunday — was published in CD‐ROM form in early 1991. The design of the three CD‐ROM products is very different. The differences are explored and illustrated in detail in this article. The Times on CD‐ROM is the simplest product to use and The Independent on CD‐ROM is the most complex. Each product has a number of novel, distinct features as well as features in common with the other two products.
