It is anticipated that an electronic or printed product will be available by the end of 2000. In the interim, to assist with student questions and term paper topics this fall, listed below are some of the new non-geographic terms that have been added since the 1994 edition:
Note: Because of space considerations, none of the Broader terms (BT), Related terms (RT) or Narrower terms (NT) have been included.
