RE: Peter Jasco review of PubSCIENCE

["Grogg, Jill" <jgrogg@library.msstate.edu>]

Interesting, considering Jasco's earlier review of PubSCIENCE in Link Up,
17, no. 3 (May/June 2000): 3, 8. Abstract available at:
http://www.infotoday.com/lu/may00/luab11.htm.

"PubSCIENCE is an excellent resource for those who cannot afford the
fee-based databases." "It can easily become the preferred source also for
those who currently subscribe to one or more of the commercial databases."

Peter Jasco reviews PubSCIENCE in the most recent edition of "Peters
Digital Reference Shelf":

http://www.galegroup.com/reference/peter/sept.htm#pubsci

Referring to the recent proposal to shut down PubSCIENCE, Jasco notes:

"I am not at all concerned by the proposal because this is a poorly
implemented database considering the whopping $500,000 a year it gets from
Congress."
