Congressional Mastefile on CD-ROM has proven to be a good resource for finding information on Congressional hearings, reports, and special publications. In January 1992, new and improved software became available for accessing Congressional Masterfile. To determine if the new software meets user requirements and to find out whether paper indexes are still needed by CIS users, students enrolled in a Political Science class at Texas A&M University were requested to participate in a survey. The students had the same class assignment and were asked either to use the compact disk and to complete a questionnaire or to use the paper indexes and complete a different set of questions. The responses to the survey were compared and analyzed.
