Over 500,000 reports have been collected on microfiche. Most of the reports that are not in the Engineering Library will be purchased at the request of the user. The request usually takes ten days to arrive in the Engineering Library. See Document Delivery for more information. The CAT does list some of the NTIS reports.
Access is by personal or corporate author of the report, report title, or report number.
NTIS is the recommended access to the report. Search the NTIS database by personal or corporate author, title of the report, report number, ID number, or subject term. Note the ID number. This is the equivalent to a call number for a book or journal. The CAT provides access to the report if it has been entered into this database.
