Svenningsen, Karen College Libraries Computer Software Costs Databases Higher Education Library Collections Microcomputers Modems Online Systems Reference Materials Search Strategies This report describes how the City University of New York College of Staten Island library incorporated the Dow Jones News/Retrieval (DJN/R) service into their collection. Included in the report are some general criteria that the college considered before selecting the DJN/R database system, an overview of the seven categories of databases contained in DJN/R, the costs associated with the DJN/R service, and the type of computer equipment needed for this service. Some general strategies for including the DJN/R in library instruction are also given. Concluding the report is a table showing the DJN/R's use in its first three years and individual profiles of the DJN/R's 40 databases. Search strategies are suggested for each of the database profiles. (MAB)
