"I have reviewed the CD-ROM version of the Review of Metaphysics and am sure that it will prove to be of inestimable value for students and scholars."

"Anyone with minimal word processing skills will quickly be able to access any specific point in any issue to The Review of Metaphysics between 1947 and 1997. No reading of lengthy, unintelligible manuals is required. Searches on words and phrases used with basic logic functions quickly display identified items in the data-base. Searches, their results, notes on texts, storage of these to personal research files, and printing are all accomplished by following on-screen directions. Further, a single disc replaces approximately ten feet of shelf-space."
