Abstract
Commercial online computer services provide a wealth of features that can be helpful in teaching political science. The four most prominent services are Prodigy, America Online, CompuServe, and Delphi.l All feature a variety of materials including news headlines, recent political news, a database on Congress, recent speeches, and an encyclopedia. A host of other features, while not of immediate relevance to political science classes, can be useful-everything from information on computers to keeping track of airfares. Prodigy, America Online, and Delphi are best suited to undergraduate teaching, particularly introductory courses. These three do not, though, offer the depth of analysis or the breadth of sources to be suitable for advanced researchers. Researchers online would be better
