                        NEW ORGANIZATIONS
                          July 17, 1996

The Clearinghouse's Resources and Services Database contains
organizational information about more than 18,000 organizations
in the United States and around the world.  Information includes
organization name, address, phone numbers, a description of
offered services, and the populations served.

NAC ONLINE users can search these databases by selecting
"Clearinghouse Databases" from the NAC ONLINE main menu.  When
asked to enter a database name, specify "RDIR" (which stands for
resources directory) to search all organizations.

To access the NAC ONLINE BBS, set your communications software to
dial (800) 851-7245, and set the options for 8 data bits, N
parity, 1 stopbit, full duplex, and complete a new user
questionnaire. Only non-profit organizations, government
agencies, educational institutions, and health departments are
given full access to NAC ONLINE and the NAC databases.

Over the weekend, 12 newly catalogued organizations were loaded
to the RDIR Resources and Services Database. This brings the
total number of organizations on the Database to 18,722.  The
records follow.
