Useful life of CDROM

[James Bass]

On July 17, 1999, Hugh Wilson wrote:
"I think many professional societies, esp. those now producing
hardcopy journals, are involved as critical players in various
alliances and 'deals' with various traditional and electronic
publishers that will eventually result in movement toward digital
publication."

For several years now, the American Economic Association has
issued one of its three journals, The Journal of Economic Literature,
on CD-ROM.
