INTRODUCTION
The SIGCAT CD-ROM Compendium was compiled by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) Library in cooperation with the Special Interest Group on CD-ROM Applications and Technology (SIGCAT). Special thanks are due to Inez S. Bridgett and Troy R. Miller of the USGS Library for their work on this compilation.
The purpose of the Compendium is to track and highlight CD-ROM products, both in process and completed, containing government information. The criterion for inclusion in this issue of the Compendium is that the source data provider be a Federal, State, or other non-profit agency.
The Compendium is an annotated list of CD-ROM products, arranged alphabetically by title. Both source agency and vendor information are provided since some of the CD-ROM titles are available from an organization other than the source. Separate source and vendor indexes are provided as search aids. A "Selected List of Resources about CD-ROM" is also included.
The Compendium is issued by the Office of Electronic Information Dissemination Services (EIDS), Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office (GPO) in cooperation with SIGCAT. EIDS is assuming responsibility for the compilation and publication of the SIGCAT CD-ROM Compendium, and it will be available for sale by the Superintendent of Documents.
To be notified when future issues of the SIGCAT CD-ROM Compendium become available, complete and return a Priority Announcement Service form . To order additional copies of this issue, use the GPO sales order form. Both are available in the back of this issue.
The last page of the Compendium is a form for Federal agencies to notify GPO of additional CD-ROM titles or to update the information for existing entries.

Sigcat Fact Sheet
The Special Interest Group on CD-ROM Applications & Technology (SIGCAT) Is a free user group sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey. SIGCAT Is devoted to the Investigation of CD-ROM technology and Its myriad applications, and provides a forum for the exchange of Ideas, Information and experiences on CD-ROM.
SIGCAT meetings are held bimonthly at various locations on the east and west coasts, often at the U.S. Geological Survey National Center In Reston, Va. The meetings usually run all day and are open to the general public at no cost. The format typically accommodates six to eight speakers, including live demonstrations of CD-ROM technology. The content of the meetings is aimed at providing the membership with updates on all aspects of CD-ROM and conveying the experiences of those both In and out of Government who are actually using the technology.
SIGCAT was founded by E. J. (Jerry) McFaul In 1986. In 1991, SIGCAT became an organizational member of the Federation of Government Information Processing Councils (FGIPC).

Digital Orthophoto Demonstration CD-ROM
Subtitle: Dane County, Wl Demonstration Disc
Description: This disc was produced by USGS National Mapping Division and USDA Soil Conservation Service to demonstrate a new digital cartographic product, the digital orthophoto. These are aerial photographs which have been scan-digitized to form raster images, rectified to orthogonal positions, and converted to a UTM projection. Because of their high positional accuracy and level of visible detail, these images show great promise as datasets for digital mapping systems or geographic information systems.
USGS and SCS conducted an orthophoto pilot project in Dane County, Wl. As a part of this, digital orthophoto quadrangles were produced in 9 of the 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles in the county. These were prepared in quarter quadrangle pieces, 36 in all, each with 1.875-meter ground resolution.

NQDC-01
Subtitle: Pacific Ocean Temperature & Salinity Profiles
Description: NODC-01 contains over 1.3 million Pacific Ocean temperature-depth and salinity-depth profiles taken between 1900 and 1988. Most of the profiles were taken by means of bottle casts and mechanical and expendable bathythermographs. A smaller number of observations were taken using conductivity/salinity-temperature-depth (C/STD) profilers. The data were submitted to the NODC by a wide range of federal, national, and international institutions (Appendix A on disc). They represent the results of hundreds of scientific investigators, millions of miles of ship tracks, and untold work hours of collection, analysis, and processing.

USGS/NGIC Geomagnetic Observatory Data -1985-89 & 1990
Subtitle:
Description: The National Geomagnetic Information Center (NGIC) has produced a series of CD-ROMs containing one-minute values of geomagnetic data from all magnetic observatories of the USGS network for the years 1985-1989 and 1990. The one-minute values are provided as 3-component vector data (Horizontal Intensity, Vertical Intensity, and Declination) from a fluxgate magnetometer, as well as scalar data (Total Intensity) from a proton precession magnetometer. The database contains geomagnetic values for two of the largest magnetic storms ever recorded: February, 1986 and March 1989. Presentation software, written in the C-language is provided with the CD-ROM. This retrieval software, designed to be operated on a fully-compatible IBM PC with EGA/VGA graphics capability, provides output in both graphic and ASCII-text modes. The capability also exists to write data files from the CD-ROM to a hard drive or floppy disk in NGIC or World Data Center-A ASCII formats.
