Presents a state-of-the-art review of the applications of CD-ROMs in academic libraries, embracing all aspects of library involvement and staffing implications. Concludes that CD-ROM is having a huge impact on the way academic libraries function and the services they offer to their users. However, some contentious issues are shown to be emerging. There are major implications for the existing library stock, especially where information published on CDROM is also available in printed form. The advantages of CD-ROM have induced many libraries to take out subscriptions to CD-ROM databases for which they already have printed versions; leading to questions about the feasibility of continuing the printed subscriptions. Other problems include: multiple user interfaces; and the cost, conditions and lack of consistency involved in networking CD-ROMs.
