New Web Site Consolidates Access to
DoD Scientific and Technical Information
FORT BELVOIR, Va. - The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC(r)) launches the new DTIC Online, a redesigned public Web site for Department of Defense (DoD) scientific and technical (S&T) information.
This new site integrates three of DTIC's public Web sites: DTIC Search, DTIC Home and its Public Scientific and Technical Information Network (STINET(r)).
R. Paul Ryan, DTIC's Administrator, said, "This consolidation provides DTIC customers with a single point of entry to S&T information. While the new site includes users' favorite products and resources, enhancements have been made to improve navigation and provide access to more resources in one location."
Two key features of the new site are (1) the ability to search more databases in one search and (2) Interest Area pages that provide links to pertinent information for specific S&T research communities.
With the release of DTIC Online, the MultiSearch tool has also been enhanced. This search feature assists the DoD community in accessing S&T information over a wide range of DoD, federal, commercial and international sources. DTIC customers are now able to access more than 50 database sources, from approximately 50 countries with an estimated number of 20 million documents. Sources include DTIC collections, Science.gov, the Library of Congress, World Wide Science.org, Scitopia.org and much more.
View DTIC Online at http://www.dtic.mil today. To submit feedback on the new Web site, please email: feedback@dtic.mil.
DTIC is a DoD Field Activity aligned with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E). The premier provider of DoD scientific and technical information, DTIC has served the information needs of the defense community for more than 60 years.
