just to make life even more difficult, i received a call from someone at the new incarnation of sciencewise,  which is expected to be resurrected in the near future.  i understand that it will be demo'd at ncura, and probably other venues.

as to choices....we subscribe to COS, and another office in the university provides access to IRIS.  both seem quite comprehensive....i have used SPIN and have faculty who come here and request it.  i think the three are comparable.  faculty tend to prefer the one that gives them the most "hits," but i have found that this varies with the faculty member's ability to define a search.
