  "full_text": "In the past few months, Uplink has dealt mostly with data that you bring in-house. However, in this issue we're looking at the online world of data with help from some of the better journalistic users.\n\nWhile it can be fun to play in cyberspace, your news organization will be much happier if you return with instant information for a story rather than wide-eyed tales of electronic trips to arcane libraries in Barcelona.\n\nThus, we've tried to tilt our articles toward the practical end with features on Fed World, CompuServe, the World Wide Web, and ProfNet. We don't pretend to do more here than dip our toe in the big online ocean so don't hesitate to send us advice.\n\nMeanwhile, in the spirit of onlining, the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting intends to set up a listserv (mailing list on the Internet) in the next month. See you on the Net.",
