Abstract: The potential and the disadvantages of computer databases in education are considered by looking at one particular database which evolved over several years. The purpose of this database, HELPIS, is to locate and describe audio‐visual materials suitable for use in higher education. The historical development of the database is traced, with particular emphasis on its unique features. After a brief mention of some of the other databases, of interest to the educator and trainer, some indication is given of new developments. The importance of user feedback in determining the future development of databases is stressed.
