January 1976 (Supersedes May 1 974 Issue) Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/usersguidetoendeOOunit FOREWORD ENDEX (Environmental Data Index) and OASIS (Oceanic and Atmospheric Scientific Information System) provide to users a rapid, computerized referral to available environmental data files and published literature in the environmental sciences and marine and coastal resources, respectively. ENDEX data bases are computer-searchable interdisciplinary files of environmental data. The data bases can be searched by geographic area, measured parameters, institution holding the data, projects, etc. Specifically, ENDEX has three major components: Descriptions of data collection efforts; detailed inventories of large, commonly used files; and descriptions of data files. Data catalogs from large NOAA environmental data collection projects can be identified. ENDEX data bases are updated every two years. OASIS is an information retrieval service that furnishes ready reference to published technical literature and on-going research efforts concerning the environmental sciences and marine and coastal resources. It provides computerized searches of both NOAA and non-NOAA multidisci- pline bibliographic data bases. OASIS provides the user with printed citations (including abstracts for some data bases) and indexing terms. ENDEX/OASIS January 19 76 iii CONTENTS 1. Introduction 1 2.

INTRODUCTION The volume, diversity, and widely scattered locations of environmental data and information in the marine, earth, and atmospheric sciences has created the need to provide scientists, engineers, planners, and decision-makers specialized information-retrieval services that will bring to them an awareness of the available data and information in a brief, concise, and timely manner. The typical environmental scientist or manager has information needs that cross many scientific disciplines. A single source or a limited number of sources of bibliographic informa- tion or environmental data cannot always be identified to serve an indi- vidual or the environmental community at large. One of NOAA's central functions is to "Observe, collect, communicate, analyze, process, provide and disseminate comprehensive data and information about the state of the upper and lower atmosphere, of the oceans and the resources thereof including those in the seabed, of marine and anadromous fish and related biological resources, of inland waters, of the earth, the sun, and the space environment . . . ." NOAA performs this function in order "To ensure the safety and welfare of the public, and to further the Nation's interests and activities with respect to the protection of the public health against environmmental pollution, the protection and management of the Nation's biological, mineral and water resources, the maintenance of environmental quality, agriculture, fisheries, industry, transportation, communications, space exploration, national defense and the preservation of the Nation's wilderness and recreation areas . . ."* Consonant with these objectives, the Environmental Data Index and the Oceanic and Atmospheric Scientific Information System (ENDEX/OASIS) have been developed and will continue to be developed as a "one-stop" service available to the public for computerized searching of references to technical literature, data, and research dealing with the environmental sciences and marine and coastal resources. ENDEX/OASIS is operated by the Environmental Data Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Washington, D. C. This User's Guide contains a description of all ENDEX/OASIS services and how to request such services. ^Department Organization Order, D00 25-5A, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. ENDEX/OASIS January 1976 ENDEX/OASIS is unique in that: (1) It is publicly available to individuals and organizations who have a need for information in the disciplines of environmental sciences and marine and coastal resources. (2) It offers access to several environmental bibliographic informa- tion and data-referral data bases not available elsewhere. (3) It offers one-stop access. (4) In order not to duplicate services available elsewhere, many of the ENDEX/OASIS services offered are obtained through information dissemination centers external to NOAA, but each user submits only a single request, regardless of the data bases chosen for searching. Comments regarding ENDEX/OASIS services, including requests for additional referral data bases, should be directed to: For OASIS (Bibliographic and Ongoing Research) Environmental Science Information Center, D826 EDS /NOAA 3300 Whitehaven St., N.W. Washington, D. C. 20235 Telephone (202) 634-7336 For ENDEX (Data Referral) National Oceanographic Data Center EDS /NOAA 2001 Wisconsin Ave. , N. W. Washington, D. C. 20235 Telephone (202) 634-7500 2. SERVICES AVAILABLE FROM ENDEX/OASIS 2.1 Environmental Data Searches (ENDEX) Searches of the environmental data referral files of ENDEX will provide the user with a collection of descriptions of data from EDS's national data centers and non-EDS sources. Detailed inventories of large data files contain geographic areas, instruments used to collect the data, the amount of data available, and the organization or institution holding the data. Data file descriptions contain geographic areas covered by the file, quantity and nature of the data, dates of collection, projects associated with the data, cost, availability, publications in which the data can be found, and an abstract explaining the scope of the data. ENDEX/OASIS January 1976 2.2 Retrospective Searches of OASIS Data Bases A Retrospective Search is the retrieval of specified subject matter from an entire data base. Retrospective searches are made either on-line or in a batch mode, depending on the extent of automation of the data base to be searched. Abstracts are available from some of the data bases such as AIR POLLUTION ABSTRACTS and GOVERNMENT REPORTS ANNOUNCE- MENTS (GRA) . This service is usually of greatest value to those who are working on projects that must be completed in a short time or who are beginning a new project and wish to survey the field. A retrospective search is made only once for a given request; but if the results are not satisfactory, the request can be modified and run again. The cost for non-NOAA users depends upon the specific data base(s) searched and occasionally upon the chronological span specified by the user. (See descriptions of data bases for specific charges.) 2.3 Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) from OASIS Data Bases SDI, sometimes called "Current Awareness," is the retrieval of citations to current scientific literature as it is published and the periodic dissemination of those citations to the user. SDI search services are available for most data bases. The service resembles a subscription, and the frequency of receipt depends on the frequency with which the data base is updated. This service is usually of greatest value to individuals whose interests are of a long-term, continuing nature. Charges to non-NOAA users for SDI services are made on a per-profile, per-update basis. A profile is defined as one statement of subject matter interests on NOAA FORM 24-21. For example, BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS is updated twice a month and is priced at $12 per issue per profile. Thus the total cost per month is $24. If the same profile is used for searching more than one data base, the total charge is the sum of the charges of each data base. ENGINEERING INDEX COMPENDEX, for example, is issued once a month and costs $15 per issue. If a given profile were to be run against both BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS and ENGINEERING INDEX COMPENDEX, the monthly charge would be $39 and the subscriber would receive three releases per month. An SDI profile can be modified at any time to reflect changing professional interests or information requirements. Modifications are not retroactive. 2.4 User Interactive Searches of OASIS Data Bases User interactive searching refers to user queries of a data base via a terminal. Immediate responses between the computer and user are provided. A user can query a large data base and have his answers in a few minutes. User interactive searching is valuable when the user needs information immediately. It is also useful for testing the presence of relevant material in a data base or finding search strategies for current awareness searches. Approximately 70% of the OASIS data bases are currently searchable in the interactive mode. ENDEX/OASIS January 1976 On-line interactive access 'to non-NOAA data bases is available for NOAA users only. Non-NOAA users must make independent arrangements with the data base supplier for such on-line access. 2.5 On-Going Research Information Searches (OASIS) Information summaries are available on current and recently completed government and non-government research projects. These summaries are not bibliographic citations of published material, but rather are a summary of research projects including names of principal investigators, the organizations performing the research, and other informational items. 3. HOW TO REQUEST ENDEX/OASIS SERVICES 3.1 User Interactive Data File Referral Searches (ENDEX) Users can search ENDEX data bases interactively via their own termi- nals by special arrangement with the Data Index Branch.

This form is a franked, self-mailing 5" x 8" card and is provided with each search. It is requested that this form be completed for each OASIS search received. It is extremely important to use the evaluation procedure if there is any dissatisfaction with search results. 4. COSTS AND PAYMENT PROCEDURE 4.1 NOAA Personnel There is no charge to NOAA personnel for ENDEX/OASIS services. Searches performed or ordered by NOAA personnel for non-NOAA users will be charged to the non-NOAA users as specified in section 4.2. 4.2 Non-NOAA Users The costs of ENDEX/OASIS services is determined by the type of search provided (SDI or Retrospective), the number of data bases searched, and in some cases the portion of a particularly large data base searched. The description of each data base in sections 5, 6, and 7 includes all details relating to charges. The price quoted does not apply to large searches requiring more than one hour of terminal connect time or the printing of more than 200 citations. For the normal search, these limits will not be exceeded. You will be notified if these limits are expected to be exceeded. ENDEX/OASIS services may be paid for in either of two ways: a. By check or money order submitted with a request. Checks should be made payable to "U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA," or b. By indicating at the time a request is submitted that the charges should be billed. This is the normal procedure for requesters from Federal agencies other than NOAA. 4.3 Costs Revisions Charges for ENDEX/OASIS searches are subject to change without notice. Normally, costs changes will be announced in advance by newsletter or revisions to this User's Guide.
