Dewey continues the series of guides to library-relevant software he began with 101 Software Packages to Use in Your Library (1987) and continued with 202 Software Packages to Use in Your Library (1992). He limits 303 to software available on CD-ROM. Entries include vendor, price, system requirements, and comments. Where appropriate, there are references to published sources about a title. Included titles cover not only library-specific applications--integrated library systems, online catalogs, magazine and periodical management systems, and the like--but such wider applications as those met by accounting programs and bulletin board systems. Most packages are for IBM PC and compatibles, but information about Apple Macintosh software is here, too.
