Summary: The Hci Information and LITerature Enquiry Service (HILITES) has been
developed from two initiative over the years, one being a series of research
projects and the other a service development on a commercial basis. In this
paper the user's needs for information services are discussed, and the
developments leading to HILITES are reviewed. The facilities provided by
HILITES are outlined, including the on-line database containing over 25,000
items of literature available for on-line search, the weekly accessions list
and request service, the copy and/or loan service of hard copies to
subscribers, and related special services. The latest development (November
1991) has been the release of the HILITES database on CD-ROM.
