The Internet Age has revolutioned the way in which astronomers carry out research by enabling the use of publicly-available data stored in database archives. The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) Data Archive (IDA) grew out of the need of astronomers worldwide to access the data obtained by ISO. Although many scientific papers have resulted from ISO data, the IDA still contains a vast amount of untapped scientific potential. The systematic use of the ISO Data Archive is demonstrated and its role is described in building a catalog of far-infrared fine structure lines for 227 galaxies whose data will be available from the IDA. This example provides an insight into the many opportunities the IDA offers, and the process of this project from its inception to its current results is detailed. The results from this archival research are consistent with other ISO studies and add new information to the understanding of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) of galaxies. Many new projects can be spawned through the use of this publicly-available, fully-reduced dataset that forms a foundation for observations with future observatories (SIRTF, SOPHIA, Herschel).
