Humanists at the Keyboard: The RLIN Database as a Scholarly Resource.

Lehman, Stephen; Renfro, Patricia

Computers and the Humanities, v26 n3 p175-80 Jun 1992

Explores the usefulness of the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) to humanities scholars. Contends that factors such as inaccessibility of terminals and difficult-to-use interfaces inhibit the utility of the database. Maintains that use of the RLIN should help database managers plan the next generation of information systems. (CFR)
