I am interested in tracking down (no pun intended) any and all sources of interactive media on either 5" (usually CD ROM) or 12" (LaserDisc) discs. Are there any bibliographies, catalogs, flyers, etc. to be ordered? Recommendations, or simply just comments, on accompanying software programs would be appreciated. I am interested in developing teaching applications with this technology. My fields of specific interest are urban and regional planning and environmental planning. I have access to several systems and (hopefully) the necessary equipment. I will post e-mail responses, if so requested. Thanks in advance! @ @ < V
