I would like to have your thoughts on APID. We have subscribed to this
database for many years. It is not very popular with the students because
it has to be accessed in the library and is not web-based. More and more
I've been directing the students to RIBA webcat. I'm thinking of cancelling
our subscription to APID and redirecting the funds elswhere. I'm just not
sure if webcat has the same coverage as APID. From reading RIBA's homepage
it would appear that it does but I'd like to make sure before I do anything
as drastic as cancel a subscription. I have emailed RIBA but I haven't
heard back yet and I need to sort this out before our subscription comes
due. Thanks for your help.
Regard,
