Zusammenfassung:	The formulae used to price online databases have traditionally been comprised of three components: database connect time, per record charges and communications costs. Business databases available through Dialog make use of these three basic cost factors with the addition of user-defined formats, report and special report formats, full text, and current awareness profiles. An informal survey was conducted by the author to compare the pricing formulae of six categories of business databases available through Dialog.
