[NTIACNews]publically accessible NTIAC database

[Chris Coughlin]

Hello All,

Although STINET (Scientific and Technical Information Network) has been 
available for some time now, I only noticed this past week that most of 
NTIAC's database is searchable from the public interface at 
http://stinet.dtic.mil/index.html .  Some of the database isn't 
available to the general public, the STINET Frequently Asked Questions 
(FAQ) page at http://stinet.dtic.mil/help/index.html#dist-state has more 
information.  Still, the vast majority of the database is searchable, 
and full PDFs are available for some documents as well.  NTIS 
(http://www.ntis.gov/ ) and CISTI 
(http://cisti-icist.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/main_e.html ) can help with providing 
full copies for the others.

I haven't had the opportunity to explore the search capabilities fully 
but it looks as though the interface is fairly self-explanatory.  It 
might be worth a look if you've ever wanted to do your own NTIAC 
search.  Or search through other IAC holdings, for that matter.

Regards,
Chris
