The database has two important components: "Search Tables Research Edition" and "Search Abstracts." The Tables section provides the ability to search for data and view the statistical tables. Many of the tables are also available in spreadsheet format. The more extensive Abstracts section indexes and abstracts statistical publications issued by the federal government (ASI), state governments and private publishers (SRI), and intergovernmental organizations, such as the United Nations (IIS). The Library has three microfiche full text subscriptions, one covering all documents not included in the federal depository library system (non-depository ASI), another covering the state and privately published publications in SRI and the third is the IIS collection. These microfiche sets are located in the Morris Library Reference Room.
