Abstract
An existing model for calculating online search costs has been converted to electronic form using the spreadsheet package MULTIPLAN. The electronic version of the model proves to be an extremely fast and powerful tool for updating search‐costs matrices for a large number of databases on different host systems. The model itself may be useful for investigating the microeconomics of online information retrieval.
