The need for databases with a European emphasis in
the field of the humanities has been felt for some time. American Database
serve academic researches well, but they take up European issues only sporadically.
To offset this difficulty we have started a European-based CD-ROM
disk, Sophia, with an accent on humanities. Database with an emphasis on
Central and Eastern Europe are also included.
