"It is essential for libraries to have the Contemporary Authors series. If one wonders if the whole issue with series and revisions and indexing can be solved by buying the whole series electronically, the answer is absolutely. The GaleNet version is fabulous, with sophisticated indexing and complete coverage."
-- ARBA (American Reference Books Annual) 1999
