On-Line Access to Scientific Databases in Japan: The U.S. National Science Foundation is offering U.S. scientists and engineers access to scientific information from Japan. In coopération with Japan's National Center for Science Information System (NACSIS), NSF is providing on-line access at no charge to the science data bases associated with Japan's Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture. As of March 1990, nine Japanese databases were available: • Absrracts of grant-in-aid research reports (Kaken); • Absrracts of conférence papers of seven académie societies involved in electronics, electricity, information processing and control (Gakkail), and académie societies involved in chemistry (Gakkai2); • Index to doctoral thèses submitted to Japanese universities (Gakui); • Union catalogs of books in Japanese (JBCAT) and Western languages (FBCAT), and sériais in Japanese (JSCAT), and Western (FSCAT) languages held by university libraries in Japan; and • Directory of databases created or served at Japanese universities (DBDR). Bibliographie searches can be requested by phone, mail, Internet or BitNet, or done in person. NSF employs a Japanese-
language-capable operator to assist and summarize the findings in English. Translation, however, is on a time-available basis. Two computers are located in Room 416A at NSF's Washington, DC offices. To request a search or obtain further information, call the NACSIS operator at (202) 357-7278 between 1 and 4 p.m. EST on weekdays. Internet is [email protected]; BitNet is nacsis@NSF. The third NACSIS terminal is available from 7 a.m. to 12 noon and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Library of Congress, Science Reading Room, John Adams Building, 110 Second Street SE, Washington, DC 20540; téléphone: (202) 707-5664. You can also write to: NACSIS Search Operator, Room 416-A, National Science Foundation, Washington, DC 20550.
U.S. Companies in Composites Research/Production: Référence book contains technical profiles of over 450 business entities in the United States currently peiforming significant composites work in the form of research or any aspect of production. Included in this 442-page book are companies, public and private, forprofit and not-for-profit, that are active in polymer-, métal-, or ceramic-matrix composites in automotive, industrial, and aero-
space fields. Main entry data for each facility, researched by a team including scientists, include a full description of activities, products, materials, staff, and names of key/administiative personnel engaged in composites. Forty-one tables provide analytical access to the main entries and allow searching by components or products fabricated, materials fabricated, process capabilities, constituents or precursors produced, R&D, and géographie location. $127.
