Summary:
Nuclear Science and Engineering is a publication of the American
Nuclear Society (ANS), whose "...main objective is to promote the
advancement of engineering and science relating to the atomic nucleus, and
of allied sciences and arts." The journal is devoted to technical reports,
technical notes, and computer code abstracts. It is the research journal
of the ANS and "...has been published since 1956....[It] is widely
recognized as an outstanding source of information on research in all
scientific areas related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and
radiation."
The site's main screen is divided into two frames. On the left, the user
will find ANS publication links, as well as general ANS information links.
Users can view the current issue of the journal, as well as move forward or
back one issue. Likewise, users can view all back issues and access
subscription information through site links. Other ANS journals are
accessible here; a new additions area is also found. Subtopics are provided
for each of the following areas: (1) ANS Constituency (5 options); (2) ANS
Resources (4 options); (3) ANS Contacts (3 options); and (4) Go To (5
options).
The site's right frame displays the current issue of the journal. Users
will find the issue's table of contents at the top; selecting a title
displays its contents within the issue. Scrolling also allows for viewing
of publication texts.

interest; a listing of articles is then displayed, showing the texts, in
their order of appearance within the periodical. Each article's record
includes: (1) the title; (2) name(s) of author (initials, last name); (3)
the page numbers where the article is located within the issue; and (4) a
designation (via an icon) noting whether the text is available for
ordering. Users should scroll to view site listings and issue listings.
At the bottom of the site's main page are three major links. The first
gives access to the AIP homepage, for further information. The second opens
the "Titles in Physics" homepage, a service which allows users to search 47
AIP society journals for topics of interest. The last link, "Journal List,"
accesses a comprehensive listing of all AIP journals. The site is

Summary:
Preprints Issued at ICTP is an "electronic report" sevice, operated under
the auspices of UNESCO and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Sponsored by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), which
fosters the growth of "...advanced [physics] studies and research
in...developing countries...," the site contains information on titles,
authors, abstracts, and ICTP-codes of current preprints issued by ICTP.
Upon accessing the site, the user will find a link to the ICTP homepage.
Within the main page of the site, a keyword search field is provided, along
with three major links. The first, "Sources," accesses a query page for an
online search of preprint sources. Users will also find a link for
receiving hard copies of abstracts and a link for receiving information
concerning the ICTP preprints list. Below these major links is the
preprints
listing; scrolling reveals lists dating from 1995 (Lists 1-20 provided) and
from 1996 (Lists 1-18 provided).
Selecting a given list from the site's main pages then displays an
automized list of preprints for this particular category. Each preprint is
noted with its ICTP code number, title, author(s), and an abstract. Users
should scroll to view the contents of the a given category. At the bottom
of the site's main page is a link to the ICTP homepage.
The site is sponsored by the International Center for Theoretical Physics

QC 774.2 Nuclear and Particle Physics, Atomic Energy, & Radioacticity. Directories
Summary:
High-Energy Particle Physics Laboratories and Agencies is a directory of
571 HEP (high energy physics) and HEP-related institutions, located
worldwide,
who have WWW servers. The site is a service of the Particle Data Group,
located at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a group which is an
"...international collaboration that reviews Particle Physics and related
areas of Astrophysics, and compiles/analyzes data on particle
properties....[Their] products are distributed to 30,000 physicists,
teachers, and other interested people."
Upon entering the site, the user will find a link to a partial list of
HEP-related institutions with WWW servers. Acccessing this link then
opens a listing of 218 institutions; all data in this area is based on the
SPIRES-SLAC database, located at Stanford University. Nations are listed
alphabetically, with servers noted underneath their headings. Records
reflect the name of the facility, as well as its corresponding server. The
server's title is its link to the WWW. Further down the main page, there is
a provided link for the site's introduction section, as well as dialing
instructions. When this link is accessed, the user will find a menu of
search options within the site: (1) specific page access to holdings within
the site; (2) access to the table of contents for the directory of HEP labs
and agencies; (3) the Particle Data Group homepage; and (4) the partial
list of HEP-related facilities. Essentially, this menu allows for
negotiation of the site at any given point in the search process; it is
displayed at each interval while the site is in use.
Listings for HEP facilities are found in the center of the site's main page.
Here, listings are alphabetized, according to the name of the nation.
Selecting a location of interest then begins the search process. The screen
will then display the menu of site search options, and below it, the
requested records. Users should note that a page of records will be
