- Is MEDLINE via DataStar really more cost effective now that NLM has reduced
- most or all of the cost factors in its pricing algorithm and eliminated
- the distinction between prime-time and non-prime-time? I have begun
- accessing MEDLARS via the INTERNET, which has cut my own cost even more.
- Or is the attraction of Data Star more for those who are familiar with and
- favorably impressed with the BRS-type search features coupled with the
- relatively lower cost?
