One Searching for Alcohol/Drug Information

Answers to clinical and administrative problems, statistics for a speech and information on new government regulations can bc found quickly with online searching-the process of using telephone lines to allow a computer in your office to talk to another computer thousands of miles away. Online information transmission was first developed by Lockheed for NASA in 1972. Since then thousands of individuals and organizations have put together subject databases on single subjects. These subject databases are made available through computer and telephone lines in offices and homes. Access to these databases is made via a computer through a modem plugged in to a telephone line. The modem changes the computer's signals to sounds able to travel over telephone lines and then changes the sounds back into signals so they can be used by the receiving computer.

Databases can be thought of as individual reference books. It would be very cumbersome to have to dial a different number and use different search instructions for each reference source or database. The solution has been the development of database vendors that have been equated to encyclopedias or information supermarkets. Database vendors offer information on a wide range of subjects. The two vendors that have emerged as the largest are Lockheed's DIALOG and BRS Information Technologies.
