The US Agency for International Development's Development Experience Clearinghouse has recently made its Development Experience System (DEXS) available via the web. DEXS "is a family of bibliographic databases that contains records for about 100,000 Agency technical and program documents" from 1942 to the present. The database is split into two parts, 1942-86, and 1987-present. Information can be searched on any of ten variables or browsed. Retrieval includes basic bibliographic information, and may also include media, pricing, and ordering information. Of the total number of records in this staggering database, over 96,000 are available in microfiche for on-demand reproduction.
