nfais/FID world inventory of absteracting and indexing services

ABSTRACT

The National Federation of Abstracting and Indexing Services (nfais) is a Federation of not-for-profit organizations and government agencies that are engaged in abstracting and indexing. The Federation was incorporated in 1958 under the name of National Federation of Science Abstracting and Indexing Services; the word Science was dropped from the name in 1972, thus broadening the membership to include services in the humanities and the social sciences. There are currently more than thirty member services. There is no individual membership in the Federation.
