The Institution of Electrical Engineers and SilverPlatter Information
Announce ERL Compliant INSPEC

December 2, 1994 -- The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and
SilverPlatter Information announce the launch of INSPEC on SilverPlatter.
The database, to be released in January 1995 will be available as a hard
disc subscription from SilverPlatter Information.

INSPEC is one of the world's most respected databases in the fields of 
Physics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computing and Information
Technology, containing some 4.75 million records drawn from over 4, 200
journals and more than 2,000 conference proceedings, books and reports.

INSPEC on SilverPlatter will be available as a site licence subscription. 
Subscribers will be able to load INSPEC on hard disc and access it locally
over their network using SilverPlatter PC-SPIRS, WinSPIRS or MacSPIRS
retrieval clients. In a media independent ERL (Electronic Reference
Library) environment, INSPEC on SilverPlatter will allow users to cross
database search INSPEC and related SilverPlatter databases using their
interface of choice, without having to change retrieval software.

Commenting on the announcement, Eva Kiwiet, SilverPlatter's Director
Europe-Publisher Relations said, "The availability of INSPEC on
SilverPlatter is a major addition for us. For some time SilverPlatter
subscribers have been asking us to make this product available to them
with the familiar SPIRS interface. We are pleased that together with the
IEE we are able to meet these requests and enable greater access to this
prestigious database."

Jim Ashling, Director of  Sales and Marketing at the IEE added, "We are
pleased to be involved in this collaboration with SilverPlatter. We
recognise that providing access to INSPEC using ERL technology with its
choice of servers and retrieval clients for DOS, Windows, Macintosh and
UNIX will enhance access to our database."

INSPEC on SilverPlatter will be available as of January 1995. Information
coverage will be from 1969 to the present.
