For a user defined 'key word' search of all our reports the CD/ROM version has a built-in search engine to allow scrutiny of our text. The version placed with Educationline on the World Wide Web offers full search facilities based on the British Education Index. The website can be accessed via the following URL: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/ncihe
