*Accessing the Data Base*

     The DAAD Syllabi database at present consists of over 170
syllabi in fields ranging from architecture to Women's Studies.
The database will continue to expand as new syllabi are submitted
for inclusion.

*The Data Base can be accessed electronically*

	! It is available in two formats:
	     ! as Microsoft Word files, and
	     ! as ASCII text files

	! To access the data use the FTP protocol. (The user needs
	  to inquire at her/his location for the particulars of the
	  FTP protocol there).
