The principal categorical areas investigated will include the physical, biological and social sciences disciplines. 2. Compile, categorize and key-word bibliographic information obtained under 0bjective No. 1. These data will then be used to generate a FAMULUS-based computerized bibliography utilizing the University of Wyoming's Cyber Computer System.
