Both Zasio and Skupsky's research tools are good.  I also suggest Braincore.  It is on-line.

	Subject: Records Retention Software for Researching Federal and State regulations
	
	

	I am currently performing research concerning records that have record
	keeping requirements due to state, federal, local regulations as well as
	statutory requirements. Since my company does business nationwide I was
	considering using either Zasio's software or Skupsky's Information
	requirements clearinghouse software to help me in my task. I thought it
	may be easier to use a package for my initial research and the research
	would go quicker. I realize that neither one of these tools is an end all
	solution since they are not complete. When I reviewed the internet site
	for these packages, Zasio indicated they had 20,000 regulations and IRCH
	indicated only 13,000. Not sure if the websites need updating or if this
	is true.
	
	I would like to know if anyone is currently using either one of these
	software packages and what the recommendation would be.
	
	Thank-you
