Abstract
The on-line IUE Uniform Low Dispersion Archive (ULDA) and the associated ULDA Support Software Package (USSP) are described. The underlying philosophy, the detailed corrections made to the data and the implementation details are summarized. The low-resolution data are made available for direct access to the astronomical community through the existing computer networks. The USSP includes a selection mechanism and a mechanism to transfer the data selected from the national host to the end user's institute; it supports various data formats and requires only minimum user registration, and collects some usage information.
