I suggest before we make a yes/no decision
on AtoZ, we each try out Historic Map Works
Library Edition.

http://trials.proquest.com/pqte/cust/requestTrial.do
I note I neglected to mention in a previous
email that Tracey's remarks about AtoZ.
The Perry-Castenada Web site would be
my first choice to send users to - not
AtoZ. Although AtoZ certainly does
have materials PC doesn't, for
my users' primary area of interest - California -
there are so many good for-free sites out there.
