This helps them to avoid duplication of research works and saving their costs, energy and time. Bibliographies are also prepared by searching CD and DVD form of databases which are available in this Division. Following international science and technology information based databases on CD and DVD forms are used for this purpose:

µ      Physics Abstracts                              

µ      Current Contents on:

-          Clinical Medicine;

-          Engineering, Computing and Technology and

-          Life Sciences.

          During the period 2009-2010, BANSDOC has provided 1,747 bibliographical references among the 15 scientists/researchers. Though government earned very little revenue income Tk.1,012 in exchange this service, really it is not evaluated in terms of money. The importance of this service is enormous in the field of research and development activities in the country.
