NEWS FROM THE WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE

Worldwatch Research moves to CD-ROM
August 7, 2001
The Worldwatch Institute has packaged its award-winning research into a
new, easy to use format, releasing its first-ever CD-ROM.

The Worldwatch CD-ROM pulls together fully searchable text and data (in
color-enhanced excel format) from annual publications State of the World
2001 and Vital Signs 2001 as well as an archive of data from all
Worldwatch publications from 1999 to 2000.

The new product opens up many new uses for the Worldwatch Institute's
cutting-edge information, including the capacity to combine data sets
from more than one file to see parallel or intersecting trends and make
'what if' projections. Users can reproduce tables, charts and graphs
for illustration purposes and easily import data into personal
spreadsheet programs, presentation software or word processors.

The CD, selling for $99, runs on both PC and Macintosh computers and
requires no special software. As a special introductory offer, buyers
will also receive hard copies of Vital Signs 2001 and State of the World
2001 free (a savings of $29.90). The Worldwatch CD-ROM can be ordered
online at: http://secure.worldwatch.org/cgi-bin/wwinst/CD2001PW or by
calling 1-800-555-2028 (outside the U.S., call 1-301-567-9522).
