NTIS Mission

To promote progress by serving as the Federal Government’s central means of making technical information perpetually and widely available.

“Maintain a permanent archival repository and clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of nonclassified scientific, technical, and engineering information.”

15 USC 3710(d)(3)


Vision

Ensure easy and perpetual availability of the most comprehensive collection of Federally-funded scientific, technical and engineering information (STEI) in support of the nation’s economic growth and opportunity.

Assist other federal agencies in accomplishing the information needs of their constituencies.

Provide this public good at a high level of quality and on a self-sustaining basis.


National Technical Reports Library

• National Technical Reports Library • Released in April 2009• Focus on federally funded technical reports• Features: Online subscription; 2.5 million records; rich metadata;

full text access to 630,000 documents. • 44 current subscribers.• Current approach uses traditional database and search engine

developed in-house

• Began with Fedora-based pilot in April 2010• Beta 2.0 version using Fedora Spring 2011• Beta 3.0 Version using Fedora 3.4/Custom Tech Report Structure: October, 2011
