Two underlying assumptions of this volume are that academic and public libraries can serve as effective intermediaries between the U.S. National Technical Information Service (NTIS) and library clientele, and that NTIS believes academic and public libraries, as well as their clientele, may comprise markets for expanding the number of people who might use and purchase NTIS information services and products. As such this volume fills a void in the literature regarding the operations and activities of the NTIS. Due to a broad range of factors discussed throughout the volume, academic and public libraries are unable to serve as effective intermediaries between NTIS and library clientele. The link between NTIS and the academic and public library professional community can be improved through a carefully developed and implemented plan.

Intended to assist academic librarians and other information professionals in better exploiting the information resources available through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), this two-part manual offers practical suggestions and strategies for making NTIS information services and products available through academic libraries. Suggestions to increase academic librarians' awareness of and access to NTIS services and products are offered in the first section of the manual, including development of a knowledge base of NTIS services and products; taking into account the basic considerations of access, bibliographic control, and microfiche use; development of collections of NTIS materials; promotion of NTIS materials within and outside the library; development of an NTIS service plan; and increasing the use of NTIS materials. This portion of the text is supplemented with 6 figures, and 21 references are provided. The second part of the manual, which identifies core collections of NTIS reports, reference materials, microfiche, diskettes, and magnetic tapes within 16 major subject areas, is intended to help librarians in any setting determine which NTIS titles are significant for particular subject areas and to allow librarians to better integrate NTIS materials into their collections. Indexes by NTIS document title and by order number are included. Instructions for searching OCLC for NTIS materials and an NTIS order form are appended. (KM)

The aim of each volume of this series Guides to Information Sources is to reduce the time which needs to be spent on patient searching and to recommend the best starting point and sources most likely to yield the desired information. The criteria for selection provide a way into a subject to those new to the field and assists in identifying major new or possibly unexplored sources to those who already have some acquaintance with it. The series attempts to achieve evaluation through a careful selection of sources and through the comments provided on those sources.

A study was undertaken that investigated the relationship between the use of U.S. government technical reports by U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists and selected institutional and sociometric variables. Survey research is the methodology used for the study. Data were collected by means of a self- administered mail questionnaire. The approximately 34 000 members of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) served as the study population. The response rate for the survey was 70 percent. A dependent relationship was found to exist between the use of U.S. government technical reports and three of the institutional variables (academic preparation, years of professional aerospace work experience, and technical discipline). The use of U.S. government technical reports was found to be independent of all of the sociometric variables. The institutional variables best explain the use of U.S. government technical reports by U.S. aerospace engineers and scientists.
