CARY, N.C., USA (November 7, 2005) - Dialog, a Thomson business, announced
today that it is now offering its Dialog Choice pricing plan, featuring
unlimited access to key research databases at fixed annual rates, to
academic institutions worldwide.
With Dialog Choice, graduate schools, universities and other academic
institutions now can provide their faculty, students and researchers with
direct, desktop access to high-value databases of scientific, technical and
medical research, as well as news, business intelligence and other current
awareness content, aggregated by Dialog from leading information publishers.
"We're delighted to extend the Dialog Choice plan to academic institutions
around the world," said Viji Krishnan, Dialog vice president, publisher

resources continually available to academic end users."
Ninety-two databases of research, business intelligence and news content are

may provide unlimited access to the entire institution or to specific users
within selected departments or units.
