Welcome to Data Bases & Research

At this site we hope to provide information and links to various online databases. These data bases will cover a wide path. We have plans for listing data bases in the following categories: medical, comics, cartoons, genealogy, movies, books, directories, dictionaries, theatre, legal and more. Sometimes it will be a link and others it will be a tip about a new way to use a data base or search engine. Both are appropriate for this blog. This blog grows out of a disk-based help disk (affectionately referred to as the Tip Disk) I produced for members of the Chicago Computer Society. While all are welcome to visit this blog, I extend a special invitation to my friends and colleagues at the Chicago Computer Society to visit frequently.
