**SCOPE**
 This guide offers a systematic approach to the wide variety                of published biographical information on men and women of science.                Both historical and    contemporary scientists are covered, with emphasis on American scientists.                Sources were selected on the basis of general availability through                major public    and institutional library systems. Departing from the usual Tracer Bullet format,    this guide is organized under the following headings: (1) general works,    (2) bibliographies and indexes, (3) selected national sources, (4) subject    sources, arranged by broad disciplines, and (5) pertinent abstracting and    indexing services. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this Tracer    Bullet is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on    target."
