The Nuclear Data Section (NDS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) offers cost-free nuclear data services to scientists worldwide. Most major experimental, evaluated, and bibliographic databases are made available through the Internet, as well as on CD-ROM and other media. These databases are used in a wide range of applications, including fission-, fusion-energy, and non-energy applications and basic research studies. The most important nuclear reaction and nuclear structure databases and selected special purpose libraries are overviewed. Multinational data networks and highly-focused Coordinated Research Projects (CRPs) are organised and sponsored under the auspices of the IAEA for the development and assembly of databases through the participation of recognized specialists from Member States. Further information concerning the various services can be found through the IAEA-NDS Web address http://www-nds.iaea.org, while mirror sites at IPEN, Brazil, and BARC, India, can be accessed through the addresses http://www-nds.ipen.br/ and http://www-nds.indcentre.org.in/, respectively....
