Welcome to PC Magazine's Reviews Index
This database contains an index to more than 1600 software and hardware
reviews and evaluations that appeared in PC Magazine from January 12, 1988
through June 11, 1991.
PC Magazine's Reviews Index is a small part of the Computer Select,
distributed by Ziff Communications Company monthly on CD-ROM.
Each month's CD-ROM contains an entire year's worth of full text articles
and abstracts from over 140 computer and technology-related periodicals
published in the United States and Great Britain, including PC Magazine.
In addition, Computer Select contains over 70,000 specifications of
software and hardware products and profiles of the 12,000+ companies that
manufacture them.
The software you are using to retrieve citations from the Reviews Index
is a fully functional copy of Lotus Development Corporation's BlueFish(R)
Searchware -- the same software utilized in Computer Select. It allows
subscribers to easily navigate through the more than 71,000 articles and
abstracts available to them each month.
If you would like more information about Computer Select please call:
212-503-4400.
The remainder of this Information Screen contains some notes relating to
the structure of the Reviews Index.
DATABASE NOTES
Each citation includes bibliographic and descriptive data that can be used
to refine your searches, such as: date, volume, issue, page number,
title, author(s), and article type (hardware review or software review).
Citations are annotated to indicate subject matter and content. Annotations
include companies discussed, product names, and subject terms selected from
controlled vocabularies to provide consistent search criteria.
Words that generally are not relevant in a search, such as "a," "the," and
"that" are masked. By masking such words, BlueFish Searchware is able to
find citations that match your query faster. Entering a masked word will
result in an unsuccessful query. The following is a list of masked words:
