Guide (see below).
The Fall 1995 edition of The Guide to Math & Science Reform, a computer
database containing information on more than 970 projects and organizations
involved in K-12 mathematics and science education reform in the United
States, is available free of charge over the Internet for both Macintosh and
Windows. (Copies of the software on disk can be ordered for $9.95 from the
Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project.) The Guide is a user-friendly,
searchable database containing hypertext links between related entries. For
more information, see the Annenberg/CPB Project's World Wide Web
page--http://www.learner.org/k12/The_Guide/.
