Abstract
UMI goes online. The information industry is going through some dramatic changes and this is well illustrated by the unveiling of a new service from UMI. It is to launch an online service which combines images of newspaper and magazine articles with ASCII text, and intends selling it directly to users from early next year. It has also offered gateway access to its existing third‐party vendors, Data‐Star Dialog and Mead Data Central, as well as other hosts.
