**SCOPE**
 This compilation updates Library of Congress *Science Tracer                Bullet* 92-4, emphasizing the literature on three solar topics--passive                solar architecture, photovoltaics, and solar thermal engineering.                However, many of the sources listed in the Abstracting and Indexing                Services Section also provide references to literature on other                aspects of solar energy and its applications. Not intended to                be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the              name of the series implies--to put the readers “on target.”
