V4 2001 INDEX       E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 39, September 23, 2001, Article 9 ON THE USABILITY OF CD-ROM BOOKS In response to the earlier suggestion that the Krause volumes would be "strong candidates for the CD-ROM format," Joe Boling writes: "... please, only if the images can be loaded a page at a time, and instantly. The auction catalogs on CD that I have used are very cumbersome and frustrating, because it takes so long to page through the information. One can scan a paper page in a fraction of a second for whatever one is seeking (illustration, heading, key word); it takes forever to scan the equivalent amount of information on a CD-ROM." [The September 21-22, 2001 catalog of the Heritage / Currency Auctions of America sale includes a CD-ROM of the full catalog in the form of web pages. The text can be browsed quickly, with images appearing only on demand. -Editor]
