The  BEST.North America database is under development and is the first
large-scale database of research resources in U.S. and Canadian
universities.  It has been launched by Cartermill, Inc. to give 
corporations a tool to explore easily the research resources
at universities.  Cartermill Inc. is a joint venture between
Dome Corporation, an arm of Johns Hopkins Institutions and Longman Cartermill Ltd.
of St. Andrews, Scotland.  

The standardized database, prepared in partnership with 70 participating 
North American universities included more than 5000 records at its
launch in September, with another 13000 expected to be added over the
next 6 months.

It will include email, research park info., other services...
