    A data bank BIBL containing bibliography on atomic data for plasma physics, atomic physics, astrophysics etc. is being developed at the Institute of Spectroscopy since 1987. The bibliographic information is supplemented by abstracts of papers and search keywords

    The topics covered by BIBL are:

• Spectra of atoms and atomic ions: ionization potentials, line classification, energy levels, wavelengths, hyperfine structure, isotopic effects, broadening and shifts of spectral lines, the Stark and Zeeman effects, plasma diagnostics, astrophysical spectra, theory of atomic spectra, radiation and autoionization rates, oscillator strengths, QED and relativistic effects in atoms and ions, atomic-spectroscopy tests of the fundamental principles, spectral sources, techniques of spectral measurements.
• Cross sections of the collision processes: excitation and ionization by electrons and photons, multiphoton processes, Auger decay, ion-electron recombination. To less extent - charge exchange, excitation and ionization in collisions with heavy particles - if any new data related to the atomic structure are obtained in these publications.

    The bibliography related to experimental and theoretical papers on identification and prediction of atomic and ionic structure should be complete from 1983, the year of the last issue of NBS Special Publication "Bibliography on Atomic Energy Levels and Spectra", but the experimental spectrum analysis can be traced back to about 1970. On the other topics, it is systematically maintained since 1989. Since 1995, the commercial database "Current Contents" is used for this purpose, with a corresponding software for transforming the found articles into the BIBL format.
    The on-line network access to the database has been implemented in Jan. 1998. The current version of the network interface does not permit to have an access to all features of the database, e.g. to authors personal data. Users may experience some serious limitations due to our slow network connection with the World. We update our base several times a year. Thus we recommend our permanent users to read this window from time to time and download the last version of the whole database, as new updates become available.

Description of the last version of the database package and instructions how to  DOWNLOAD the database are in the README file
