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, 16 newly catalogued organizations were loaded to the RDIR Resources and Services Database. This brings the total number of organizations on the Database to 18,692.
