.U57 //855 1993 7he National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist

industry in the development of technology . . . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes, to ensure product reliability . . . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific discoveries." NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering and performs related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303. Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below. For more information contact the Public Inquiries Desk, 301-975-3058.

This publication supersedes and revises NIST SP 842, which is dated September 1992.

Databases are listed by acronyms and by full titles. Citations also include dates covered, brief descrip- tions, kinds of information each contains, producers, the titles of corresponding hard copy, and vendors. An asterisk (*) in the vendor's column denotes availability of the CD-ROM format of the database in the

Research Information Center. A list of vendors with addresses and telephone numbers precedes the list. New to this edition, following the main database list, is a separate list of databases available on CD-ROM.

The General Subject Index is arranged alphabetically by subject categories, and the Cross Reference Index lists variant forms of the names of the databases in the left column with cross references to the name of the database used in this publication on the right. A list of Full Text Databases is also included. If you are interested in a literature search, call 301/975-3052 or see an Information Specialist in the Research Information Center. For additions or changes that have occurred since the publication of this report, please contact an Information Specialist.

I wish to thank Karen Jones for her able assistance and diligence in preparing this publication.
