You might be interested in a book I came across called:
"The computer Data and Database Source Book"  written
by Matthew Lesko who also wrote a book "Information USA"

It is published by AVON books (C) 1984

This book is 900 pages long and lists MORE than one
online database per page.  Many of the databases are
run by special interest groups or industry sectors.
Some are accessed through DIALOG, TELENET, or direct dial.
It is really surprising how much is available on-line.

The book was published in 1984, which makes it out of date
now, this means only that there are probably a lot more
databases that are not in the book.  Unfortunately the
book is out-of-print, and I do not know of a newer book
that replaces it.  We managed to find a couple copies at
a local bookstore a couple of months ago.  You might find
oaround.

I hope this is useful,
Keith Swenson
