NTIS is committed to increasing electronic access and electronic delivery of this content to its customers:
In 2007, NTIS increased access to Federal technical reports by extending the search function at www.ntis.gov to include its entire bibliographic file, which dates back to 1964.
In addition, NTIS improved the precision of search results by reengineering the advanced search function on the Web site to allow customers to more narrowly define the information they are seeking by year, author, etc.
Beginning May 2008, NTIS began a program to increase electronic output options.
Now, NTIS wishes to further serve our customers with a free NTIS Technical Reports Newsletter. The Newsletter, which will be sent electronically each month, highlights and alerts you to recently indexed and abstracted titles in particular categories - this first issue is about Going Green. Future editions will feature various NTIS content categories as well as showcase the relevancy of past U.S. Government technical reports to the current issues of our times.
Editor's note: Keep in mind that some reports for sale by NTIS are often available elsewhere for free -- i.e., from the originating agency or the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). But this new NTIS newsletter is a valuable current awareness tool.
