NRC Launches User-Friendly Web Tool for Searching Agency Documents

NRC Launches User-Friendly Web Tool for Searching Agency Documents
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has added a search interface to its online Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) to improve the public’s ability to find and obtain NRC documents.
“This is another example of the efforts the agency has underway to be as open and transparent as possible,” said NRC Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko.
The Web-based “ADAMS PUBLIC” interface replaces access to the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) that required downloading additional software. The original Web-based PARS interface introduced in 2003 remains available.
ADAMS PUBLIC runs as an application in a user’s browser, using multiple search fields to identify and retrieve relevant information. The new interface also provides access to the Public Legacy Library, which holds 2 million bibliographic citations to microfiched documents dating from the late 1940s to 1999. The new interface includes a "user-friendly” search screen and content search capability for more exact searches, and it can generate reports from search results. The ADAMS PUBLIC Web page (http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/adams-public.html) provides easily understandable instructions for searching, viewing and downloading documents.
