Electronic publishing is already being done voluntarily for non-commercial
reasons.  As I see it, the only thing that is being paid for is the access.
Rather that pay per item, I see the future publishers providing subscriptions
for access.  Large bbs, like compuserve, will pay heafty site-liscence or
subscription fees to gain access.  In the future, Joe and Jane Civilian will
be able to log into their computer service as easily as they are accessing
cable television today.  There the software, the databases, and the entire
publications will be maintained in full multi-media format.  Users wanting
to maintain the results of their searches on their local PC will download
the files in something like "Endnote" format.

There are lots of databases available on CD ROM: Psych-Lit, Psych-Books,
Med-Line, Citation Indexes... etc.
