he 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 ofthe agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody ofthe 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.

PREFACE
This publicationliststhemajor abstractsand indexesavailablein the collectionoftheResearchInforma-
tion Center (RIC) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It supersedes and revises
NIST Special Publication 803, which is dated December 1990. Entriesin themainindex, which are arranged
alphabetically, include the current title of the abstract or index, RIC's holdings, major sources used to
compileinformation, publisher or publishing association, corresponding RIC online database with CD-ROM
availability, RIC call number, and collection/areadesignation.
Unless otherwise designated, abstracts and indexes are located in the "Abstracts" section on the first
flooroftheRIC. Otherareasandlocationswhichincludeselectedabstractsandindexesaredesignatedby the
following:
BIOG=locatedin the Biography section
IGA =located in the Intergovernmental Affairs Collection
M

NIST =located in the NIST Reports Collection
NCC =located in the Noncurrent Collection
REF =located in Extended Reference area, check at reference desk for location
In addition to being listed by current title, abstractsand indexes are grouped in a general subject index.
They are also listed by their former titles and by their database names.
I wish to thank KarenJones for her able assistance and diligence in preparing this publication.
