FREE PREVIEW OF PAIS SELECT
FULL-TEXT DATABASE ON CD-ROM

January 31, 1996 -- PAIS-Public Affairs Information Service, Inc. will
offer a free preview disc of PAIS SELECT, a full-text CD-ROM of selected
articles about political, social and economic issues. 

PAIS SELECT is a full-text, English-language subset of PAIS International,
the world's leading database of public and social policy information since
1914. Designed for users age 16 and up -- including senior high school,
junior college and college students, PAIS SELECT is of particular interest
to schools seeking superior research tools for global and
multidisciplinary studies programs. 

The no-cost preview disc -- on CD-ROM -- is an abridged version of PAIS
SELECT and contains several hundred full-text articles. Scheduled to start
full publication in September, PAIS SELECT will be sold as an annual
2-disc set updated in the Spring and the Fall. Subscription pricing is
$850 per year. For the first year of publication, there will be no
additional charge for networking within a single building. Search software
is available for both DOS and Windows platforms. 

Like PAIS International, PAIS SELECT covers a broad and multidisciplinary
spectrum of public affairs topics such as Government and Politics,
International Relations, the Environment, Education, Human Rights, Social
Welfare, Crime and Violence, Health Care, Population and Immigration, to
name only a few. Documents included in PAIS SELECT are evaluated by
experienced PAIS editors for relevance and readability. Materials judged
too technical or specialized for the intended audience are omitted.

In addition to the searchable full text, each document in PAIS SELECT
contains a bibliographic citation, subject headings, an abstract and
journal information -- data that appear in the corresponding record in the
PAIS International database. Important tables and graphs are included as
black and white images, which can be viewed and printed. Each disc also
contains a subset of the PAIS Subject Headings List, complete with dynamic
"SEE" and "SEE ALSO" references. 

Additional information about PAIS SELECT, including a partial list of
journal sources, can be obtained on the PAIS Home Page at
http://pais.inter.net/pais/, or by calling PAIS toll free at
800-288-PAIS.
