Federal, state, and international agencies are large publishers of this type of material. They are shelved on the second floor of SEL near the reference area. Reports are either shelved by technical report number or SuDocs number. The SuDocs number is a number used to identify many government publications. These sources are particularly useful for identifying the issuing agency or organization of a report when you know only the technical report number.
Microfiche readers are available on the second floor.
Technical reports are listed individually or by series in the UB Libraries Catalog. Even if a report is not in the Catalog, we still may own the report. SEL has access in electronic and print form to a number of other resources that can help you find technical reports. Later sections of this guide identify the various indexes and in many cases provide online access to the indexes themselves. If SEL does not own a report, you may fill out an interlibrary loan request.
