                               INTRODUCTION
In the last issue we announced that we are working on another ADC CD-ROM. In
this issue Gail Schneider gives an update on the contents and features of the
upcoming release.  We expect to have the new release available for
distribution at the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society in
Washington, D.C. on January 6-10.

Some exciting new service developments are taking place at the ADC!  New 
tools for online data visualization will soon be open for your use.  The
developers describe the functions and features of these tools in this issue.

The ADC would like to welcome Dr. Janet Weiland to the staff.  Dr. Weiland
comes to us from the COBE project.  She will also support the archiving of
mission data at long wavelengths for the Astrophysics Data Facility, in
addition to her ADC duties.

We will soon be introducing a series of visualization tools that we hope will
make the ADC archives a whole lot more useful than they already are. These
tools, which are Web-based, are designed to allow a user of the ADC archives
to choose a catalog though several interfaces, see which of the files
associated with that catalog are capable of being "viewed", and then select
catalog files for processing.

The user then is presented with detailed information on the columns composing
that catalog including the range limits (for numerical fields).  The columns
of interest can be selected and limits can be adjusted. The user will
get back a page of only those entries with in-range data values and only the
columns requested.  The page is headed with a legend of the information from
the ADC ReadMe files on the units and meaning of each column.

The user can then perform a number of functions.  Initially, one can perform
sorts on a column, or save and download the file.  Other features which will
allow further manipulation of the columns will be added later.

Another useful option invokes a plotting package called Catseye. Catseye is a
graphical tool designed for the adc_viewer that makes scatter plots of any two
columns from the adc_viewer output files (sub-catalogs).  After creating a
subset of an ADC catalog with the adc_viewer, you can press the "Plot Data"
button and the Catseye frames will be displayed on your browser.  It will list
all of the sub-catalogs that you have created in the present session.  For
each one that you want on the output plot, check the box that asks "Plot this
catalog?". Then, choose the columns of the sub-catalog that you want for the
x-axis and the y-axis.  Be careful not to choose columns that contain
character strings rather than numbers.  Choose from several plot symbols to
use to distinguish the points from separate sub-catalogs.  Decide if you want
the points connected (perhaps if you are plotting spectra you will want this).
Then click on "Generate Plot".  

This will create a nice plot of all the data in the selected sub-catalogs. 
Below the plot there is a little table to fill in that allows one to set
different limits for the axes or to change to logarithms in either or both
axes.  This allows you to make a nicer presentation or to focus in on a
specific area of the plot. If you want to know the values for the other
columns of a particular plotted point, just click on the point with your mouse
and the entry line from the appropriate  sub-catalog is printed in the bottom
frame. In crowded regions there may be more than one line from one or more
sub-catalogs.

Finally, one can click on the letter "I" (for IMPReSS) at the beginning of the
entry line to send the positional coordinates of the object to IMPReSS and
begin a search of NASA missions that have observed that object.  At the time
of this writing, the equinox of the coordinates are not yet passed, so,
unfortunately the user must go to the ADC ReadMe to learn the equinox used and
manually set this in IMPReSS.

IMPReSS (IMage PeRimeters of Sky Surveys) is a graphical interface to
astronomical databases that presents the user with plane of the sky outlines 
or silhouettes of images obtained by space-based telescopes. Its purpose is to
provide a visualization environment that finds and displays, in detail,
mission footprints that lie within a user selected region of the sky. Searches
can also be restricted by the observation date. Once the user has selected
observations of interest, IMPReSS will aid in retrieving publicly available
data by sending requests to data archive sites for detailed information,
browse images, and data files.

The primary archive sites for which IMPReSS holds metadata are: the National
Space Sciences Data Center (NSSDC), the High Energy Astrophysics Science
Archive Research Center (HEASARC), and the Space Telescope Science Institute
(STScI).

For more about these developments, see the web page located at
http://adf.gsfc.nasa.gov/adf/visualization/ .  
When the service goes public,
a notice will be posted on the "What's New at the ADC" page
(http://adc.astro.umd.edu/adc/whats_new.html).

                      Update on the New ADC CD-ROM, Volume 4
                      Gail L. Schneider (Hughes STX)
 
The ADC plans to release our fourth volume of CD-ROMs, "Selected Astronomical 
Catalogs - Volume 4", in late December.  The new disc will contain a mix of 
catalogs which have been updated since Volumes 1, 2 and 3 and popular 
catalogs not published on the first three volumes.  Only ASCII discs will be 
produced, a CDS program (tofits) will be provided to allow users to create 
FITS table versions of the catalogs.  
  
In our July issue, we presented a preliminary list of contents.  We have 
since then removed two catalogs, the "General Catalogue of MK Classifications"
(Buscombe 1997), and "Star Clusters and Associations, Selected Data" (Alter+
1970).  The first catalog has problems that will not be resolved until after
volume 4 has been released and the latter is currently being updated at the
Urals State University in Russia.
