Application of Micro‐CDS/ISIS and HEURISKO for the preparation of CDROMs
Abstract
This paper discusses the experience gained in the application of Micro‐CDS/ISIS as authoring software and HEURISKO as a user search interface for in‐house production of CDROMs at FAO. It identifies the functions requiring improvement and some additional features that would make retrieval more user‐friendly. Most of these improvements, taking also into consideration feedback from users, were subsequently implemented resulting in a new version of HEURISKO. The paper supports the suitability of Micro‐CDS/ISIS and the new HEURISKO for low‐cost production and distribution of CDROMs, particularly for small and medium size databases. It invites sharing of experience with other CDROM producers using p‐5Xthe same software in view of the further improvement of HEURISKO. Although the forthcoming Micro‐CDS/ISIS Windows version will provide an alternative user search interface, HEURISKO will still be needed for DOS users
