USA TODAY DELIVERS YOUR NEWS WHEN YOU WANT IT USING PLS INTERNET
TECHNOLOGIES

(Rockville, MD, February 15, 1996) - Personal Library Software Inc. (PLS)
and USA TODAY announced today a significant enhancement to the popular USA
TODAY web site -- the ability to search the publisher's heavily trafficked
site using PLS's easy-to-use Internet search tool, PLWeb. USA TODAY added
this key capability to satisfy its many customers who want fast and direct
access to the news, sports, and feature information most relevant to their
own needs.

With news, reviews, weather and sports stories updated hourly, USA TODAY
visitors can quickly find what they need from any combination of
databases, with stories creatively hyperlinked to other articles and
detailed reports of interest. Sports scores, statistics and recaps are
updated every two minutes. Stories are drawn from USA TODAY's Online News,
Money, Life, Weather and Sports sections, along with extensive coverage of
the Internet, Health, Travel and Entertainment reviews.

As a leisure-time resource, USA TODAY provides easy access to movie and
video reviews, as well as to USA TODAY's extensive collection of book,
Internet and music reviews, in-depth interviews and television commentary.
Using PLWeb, business and leisure travelers can research travel
destinations when planning their trips, and search USA TODAY's
comprehensive coverage of diseases and other health issues as the need
arises.

Delivering your news when you want it is our corporate mission, and
excellent search and delivery tools are key to this effort," said Lorraine
Cichowski, vice president and general manager, USA TODAY Information
Network. "Our use of PLWeb is a natural outgrowth of USA TODAY's use of
PLS as the underlying technology for our internal editorial system that
feeds all of our online efforts, including our own Web site. Now our
editors can offer our readers key packages of news and information to keep
them informed in this election year."

"We're committed to providing the powerful, behind-the-scenes tools and
