UNO Library participates in DARTS Pilot Project
The UNO Library through its status as a federal depository library now has access to online technical reports from the NTIS.

The following is excerpted from the Superintendent of Documents letter to depository libraries from February 28, 2007:

This pilot project in cooperation with NTIS and GPO(Government Printing Office) provides access to bibliographic records for approximately 240,000 publications from 1964-2000 from the NTIS data storage and retrieval system. Through "DARTS: Depository Access to Reports, Technical & Scientific," depository libraries are able to download at no charge the full-text electronic documents for which links are available.

This is the first time that NTIS content has been available to the entire depository library community. The technical reports found in this NTIS collection span more than 35 years and provide depositories with unique online content. Through DARTS it is believed that a substantial number of fugitive documents are now available through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP).

During the pilot, information will be gathered and reviewed, including any impact on the financial stability of NTIS. Some adjustments may have to be made in the pilot if a negative financial impact is realized, since we cannot undermine the financial stability of NTIS. However, both NTIS and GPO expect that the pilot will validate the assumption that NTIS can participate in the FDLP with its electronic content without suffering an economic loss that would be in violation of its legal requirements to be self-sustaining. GPO is very pleased that NTIS has such a positive view of the value of participating in the FDLP.

Reseachers seeking access to this database should contact Tina O'Grady, cogrady@uno.edu, or Lora Amsberryaugier, lamsberr@uno.edu.
