The literature describing utilization of biomass for energy is large and expand- 

 ing rapidly. Readers needing information additional to that summarized here 

 will find useful the following texts, proceedings, and bibliographies:

Additionally there are a number of computerized data bases available that 

 specialize in energy from biomass. The U.S. Department of Energy (1978b) 

 published a guide to such data bases produced by the DOE Technical Informa- 

 tion Center. The Forest Products Research Society, Madison, Wis., offers an 

 information retrieval service (FOREST) specializing in energy from wood. The 

 U.S. Department of Commerce, National Technical Information Service (1978) 

 also has energy-related data bases available. There are others, too numerous to 

 mention. 



Also, several institutions regularly publish information bulletins reporting 

 current developments in the field of energy from wood. Among these are: Quads 

 published by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Madison, 

 Wis.; Biomass Digest published by Technical Insights, Inc., Fort Lee, N.J. An 

 "Annotated bibliography of wood energy periodicals" is obtainable from the 

 Resource Policy Center, Thayer School, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H.
