SilverPlatter Information and Information Access Company Enter into
Publishing Agreement

February 4, 1995 --- SilverPlatter Information and Information Access
Company (IAC) have announced a joint publishing agreement. Under this
agreement, SilverPlatter will initially be publishing F&S Index Plus Text
and Health Reference Center with other databases to follow.

F&S Index Plus Text and Health Reference Center will be compliant with
SilverPlatter's ERL Technology. Because of this compliancy, these products
will be available in CD-ROM and hard disk format, and will be accessible
using SilverPlatter's retrieval software for DOS, Windows, Macintosh and
UNIX. In addition, F&S Index Plus Text and Health Reference Center will
also be accessible by other ERL retrieval clients that are developed by
third-party vendors.

With this partnership, SilverPlatter will be publishing, in the near
future, other IAC databases, including Expanded Academic Index and
Business Index, which will be compliant with ERL Technology.

Commenting on the publishing partnership, Nancy Knight, vice president of
Information Provider Services, noted "It is a pleasure to be working with
IAC. IAC is well-respected in the industry for the quality products that
it brings to academic and public libraries. Our relationship with IAC
illustrates SilverPlatter's commitment to building a Worldwide Library by
establishing collaborations which add quality information to the Library's
content."

Sean Devine, general manager for the Library division at IAC, added:
"SilverPlatter's ERL Technology was instrumental in our decision to
collaborate with SilverPlatter. Because ERL Technology supports multiple
searching environments and offers a choice of interfaces, making our
products ERL-compliant will only increase access to our information to
users around the world."
