bibliographies on individually selected medical or scientific topics 

upon request where it is consistent with the Library's purpose. The

and distribute a limited number of bibliographies on topics of general 

interest to public or nonprofit health-related professional societies, 

research organizations, and other group users. These bibliographies may 

be produced on a regularly recurring or intermittent basis under 

contract between the Library and public or nonprofit agencies, when 

determined in each case by the Director to be necessary to assure more 

effective distribution of the bibliographic information.

    (c) Information retrieval system computer tapes. To the extent 

Library resources permit and in order to further the Library's purpose, 

the Director may make available upon request by agencies, organizations, 

and institutions copies of all or part of the Library's magnetic tapes.
