Federal Publications Resources: Technical Reports
There are two major microfiche collections of federal government technical reports at the CSU library:
I. Journal Room
The collections in the Journal Room are arranged by call number.
The individual reports can be found in the library catalog (Sage).
Many series are ongoing. The more extensive include:
C13.58: NOAA Technical Memorandums
E1.28: DOE Contractor
Research and Development Reports
E1.99: DOE Contract
Reports and Publications
NAS 1.15: NASA Technical Memorandums
NAS 1.26: NASA Contractor Reports
II. Lower-Level (Basement)
This collection is in a group of microfiche cabinets located at the
north end of the Lower Level, West. This collection dates from the
1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The individual reports are NOT
represented in the Sage catalog. Entry numbers must be obtained
from the NTIS database and searched against the collection. Most
of the reports are from NOAA, NASA, and the Commerce Department.
Among the major series are the following:
AD13381--AD923-285 (most are AD600 through AD800)
PB83999 -- PB97-121610
X64-15099 --X70-14939
