NTIS

Our collection of microfiche from the National Technical Information Service now exceeds over a quarter of a million items. Found in this collection is a large range of technical reports sponsored wholly or in part by the Federal Government. Topics include engineering, aerospace, military personnel, technology, government, business, social information, and much, much more. Materials are included in the collection as follows: all reports that have an AD-A prefix to the accession number and fit the instructional profile submitted by the Naval Postgraduate School are automatically sent to the library. As a rule these materials do not circulate, but microfiche reader printers are available for patron use.
