Check out the Austin-based Reference Press for a publisher who's meeting
the on-line challenge head on.  The business information publisher has made
almost all of its data from their Hoover's Handbooks series available on
the 'Net and commerical on-line services.  And  they're actually making
money in the process.

They're also involved with the QuoteCom and FarCast projects: 
info@quote.com or info@farcast.com

Hope this helps.
