data relating to the electrical and electronic properties of all
materials of importance in today?s technology. Data, collected
from various literature sources, are evaluated and abstracted and
the literature is indexed and cross referenced from the data. The
abstracts identify the materials, the experimental equipment used,
the procedures employed, and furnish the results in the form of
tabular data and graphic illustrations. Abstracts are indexed
in a pre-coordinated descriptor system, each term of which is
used to automatically post the descriptor cards for later
