How do you find the different biological databases on the Internet In an effort to publicize the numerous sites that are being maintained, several Internet sites have been created to act as directories. Two of these database directories that we have found to be quite useful are the Biology Workbench (http //biology.ncsa.uiuc.edu) and Pedro s BioMolec-ular Research Tools (http //wwwl.iastate.edu/ pe-dro/research tools.html). 

In general, the procedure for conducting information searches comprises several steps." First, it is necessary to specify the information request as precisely as possible or to perform a pre-search interview with an information specialist. As a result the databases and the online host must be selected. It should be noted, however, that not all information requests will result in an online search since printed information sources are still of great importance. In order to select the appropriate database(s) it may be necessary to consult printed or eletronic database directories, e.g., the Gale Directory of Databases The results of the database search have to be analyzed and potential failures reviewed carefully.

These are databases that provide links to other databases or data sources. In this case, records describe objects that are other databases. The "Gale Directory of Databases" [14] is one of them. The connection between the databases flows through the meta-data of each database. 

Specialty search engines are to be preferred if a database or a detailed menu is available in any other case make use of their directory scan more than one to three result pages. The relevance ranking of a search engine may not correspond to yottr preferences.

Electronic mail and electronic conferencing services are not counted as separate databases, but when such electronic services are included with a database they are counted as aspects of the associated database and the database is classified accordingly. Several commercial online services make software databases available online, eg, the Microsoft Programmers Library, MacTutor, and Atari RoundTable. Several producers offer CD-ROM databases containing software. Such software databases contain the coding and documentation for software packages and so are classified as software databases. These are different from directories of software that are classed as directory databases. 

The percentage of word-oriented databases continues to increase at a faster pace than numeric databases. The number of image databases was 358 in 1992, greater than twentyfold increase from 1989. Audio databases rose from 1 in 1988 to 109 in 1992. A breakdown of the subclasses within word-oriented databases is given in Table 3, showing that full-text databases have surpassed bibhographic ones. Directory databases are the third most numerous.
