Description
Summary:This paper discusses the experience gained in the application of MicroCDSISIS as authoring software and HEURISKO as a user search interface for inhouse production of CDROMs at FAO. It identifies the functions requiring improvement and some additional features that would make retrieval more userfriendly. Most of these improvements, taking also into consideration feedback from users, were subsequently implemented resulting in a new version of HEURISKO. The paper supports the suitability of MicroCDSISIS and the new HEURISKO for lowcost production and distribution of CDROMs, particularly for small and medium size databases. It invites sharing of experience with other CDROM producers using p5Xthe same software in view of the further improvement of HEURISKO. Although the forthcoming MicroCDSISIS Windows version will provide an alternative user search interface, HEURISKO will still be needed for DOS users
