Abstract: Over 400 data bases are available on‐line, and the majority of these are nonbibliographic. The nonbibliographic area encompasses a number of different types of data bases, including referral, numeric, textual‐numeric, chemical and physical properties, and full‐text. The growth in nonbibliographic data base services has been not nearly as visible to information specialists as the growth in bibliographic on‐line data base services. One reason for this is that the services are primarily being marketed to and used by end users, with libraries and information centers largely being bypassed. Some nonbibliographic data base systems are end‐user oriented, but there are many others that need to be studied for their possible applications in improving and extending traditional reference and other library and information services.
