The primary purpose of this study was to highlight similarities and differences among Internet-based career information delivery systems (CIDS) so that practitioners, system developers, policy makers, and researchers may make informed decisions concerning such sites. The specific Internet-based CIDS included in this analysis were: 1) e-Choices, 2) Career Information System-National site, 3) Embark.com-Education and Career Opportunities System (ECOS), 4) Georgia Career Information System, 5) Illinois Career Information System (Horizons), 6) Indiana Career and Postsecondary Advancement Center (ICPAC), and 7) Washington Occupational Information System (WOIS). For the purposes of this analysis, features included: 1) site content, 2) user friendly features, 3) support resources, and 4) access policy, while costs included license fees. The data presented in this analysis were gathered from on-line CIDS use, support materials provided on-line, and telephone interviews with the developers.
