NTIS in- creasingly has become the lead agency within the Federal establishment responsible for participation in bilateral, regional, and worldwide activities involving technology transfer and information. This has come about because of the growing recognition of the importance of technical in- formation in the conduct of U.S. business overseas and in the conduct of U.S. international relations. In order to respond to this growing responsibility, an Office of International Affairs has been created within NTIS. NTIS' objective in forming this new office is to help create a positive climate and provide a mechanism for an equitable exchange of information among all nations. This is based on the United States' historical commitment to the open access to public information in our free society. This international flow of information through NTIS is shown in these figures— • There are some 300,000 reports based on foreign tech- nology in the NTIS collection. • 20% of the products and services provided by NTIS go to non-U. S. destinations. • Some 90 countries regularly receive information from NTIS. • 20% of the authors represented in the NTIS collection of one million titles are attached to non-U. S. organiza- tions. • Some 10% of current annual acquisitions are from non-U. S. sources. • More than 25 nations regularly contribute information items to the NTIS Bibliographic Data Base. • NTIS has bilateral agreements with non-U. S. governmental, regional, or private information organiza- tions in 37 countries which stimulate the international ex- change of information through local sales services and the acquisition of new information. This catalog highlights the foreign programs currently directed by NTIS and lists products and services from foreign sources. Additionally, it is a guide to sources of NTIS information located outside the U.S., and it lists peo- ple to contact within NTIS who are responsible for its o foreign activities. '<§ NTIS has undertaken the lead role in carrying out in- ^dustrial innovation initiatives relating to the acquisition of § foreign technology. i ft This pilot program will help U.S. industry keep abreast i» a . i ;3 of foreign scientific and technical activities and ensure easy access to foreign technical information. NTIS has concluded bilateral agreements with several of the world's leading industrial nations. These agree- ments will result in thousands of foreign technical infor- mation items entering the NTIS system, all of them abstracted in English. Such organizations as Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, and the Delft Hydraulic Laboratory; the United Kingdom's National Coal Board, National Physical Laboratory, and the Engineering Science Data Units; and the Japan Information Center of Science & Technology have already made many valuable contributions. Foreign acquisitions are concentrated in the fields of solar energy, health care, metallurgy, mass transporta- tion, building, research, and scientific instruments. Abstracts of all foreign technical reports are published in NTIS' abstract newsletters and journals. In most cases, the complete texts in the original language also are available from NTIS. Several other new programs are expected to spur in- dustrial innovations in the United States. Specific actions to aid the development and commercialization of new U.S. products and processes will emphasize an increased flow of foreign technical information to the United States. In support of these programs, it is NTIS' objective to provide its customers with much of the important foreign technical information available. Translation program In addition to augmenting its long-standing translations program, NTIS will develop a pilot international technology information exchange system to provide for the identification, collection, evaluation, and dissemina- tion of foreign technology. Translation into English of significant research literature from languages such as Russian, Chinese, and Japanese, is important both for the promotion of inter- national scientific cooperation and the expansion of technical innovation in the United States. Although study of foreign languages has been traditionally encouraged among scientists, the language barrier still is a formidable obstacle at technical operating levels in business and in- dustry. To alleviate this, NTIS will expand the long-established Special Foreign Currency Science Information Program that it conducts for the National Science Foundation. Research scientists and technical experts from all Federal agencies select foreign material to be translated into English. These translations are paid for with currency that the U.S. Government holds in other countries. The literature translated with these funds would otherwise not be translated because of limitations on U.S. dollar- supported programs. In the past 19 years, more than one million pages of original language material have been translated and made available to the public. These documents are announced in the NTIS Abstract Newsletters and in GRA&I as they are completed. About 5,000 titles are listed in Translations from the Scientific Literature, which may be ordered as: 1960-73 PB-235 385T (PC A18/MF A01) 1974-75 PB-253 493T (PC A07/MF A01) 1976-77 PB-278 430T (PC A05/MF A01) To receive a list of translations in progress for the current year, write to Special Foreign Currency Science Information Program Coordinator, NTIS, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Developing nations Acting for the U.S. Agency for International Develop- ment, NTIS has created an international information network with some 35 cooperating agencies around the world. This informal network has been functioning since 1971, when the U.S. Agency for International Develop- ment (AID) asked NTIS to create a mechanism to help ap- ply the vast collection of scientific and technical reports available from NTIS in a new effort to aid economic development. The resultant U.S. AID program set the following tasks: 1. Establish bilateral agreements with indigenous infor- mation organizations capable of providing local access to U.S. scientific and technical information. 2. Arrange training opportunities for network partici- pants to acquaint them with available scientific and technical information systems and information manage- ment skills. 3. Provide network participants with technical advisory services that strengthen their own skills and their in- stitutional capabilities. 4. Publish and distribute Application of Modern Technology to International Development (AMTID); and ACCESS to Information for International Development; and other publications. 5. Provide fast delivery of information products to par- ticipating agencies through use of subsidized airmail. 6. Provide special information materials and equip- ment compatible with network participants' needs. 7. Develop selected case studies for assessment of program impact. Network participants are typically national government agencies directly involved with economic development. The organizational unit which works with NTIS on this project is usually an information center or library. Some 35 organizations in developing countries are now actively participating in the program. Information management skill building and user education programs are essential to help local staff in developing a dynamic national information community. Network participants are expected to play an essential role in their country's modernization for years to come. To help them to serve local information needs better, NTIS provides opportunities for special training courses, field visits by consulting professionals, and local workshops covering particular areas of interest. 3 Twice each year, a group of from 10 to 15 project network agency representatives and other technical infor- mation managers from around the world come to NTIS headquarters in Washington, DC for a two week, hands- on, intensive workshop on technical information systems. It gives an overview of the technical information com- munity and its techniques worldwide, bringing knowledge up-to-date, and expanding participants' connections with NTIS and other information centers. Participants see how the National Technical Information Service operates, how to make it work better for themselves and their clients, how to take full advantage of NTIS collections when they return home, and how they can introduce similar systems in their own operations. The workshop also provides a forum through which Cooperating Agency staffs can learn from one another. For an application and further informa- tion address your request to NTIS' Office of International Affairs. The information network offers a variety of technology options, helping people in the developing countries choose the best alternatives for solving local problems. To date, vexing problems the world over have been solved by approaching them with the right information. In Ecuador, a sawdust problem was solved by designing a new product to use this former waste. In San Salvador, broken glass was recycled in a tile factory. In Korea, a metal product was improved to export-quality. All this was made possible by information provided through the network. Training tools available To monitor such successful examples of information transfer, NTIS created the Case Studies Handbook: An Aide to Evaluate the Utilization of Scientific & Technical Information. This handbook documents specific case studies but more importantly shows network participants how to develop their own case studies with specific steps outlined and strategies to follow with the information user. Available as PB80-186448, NTIS Price A06. A manual and a workbook have been specially prepared for training activities. The manual, How to Use the NTIS Order Processing System, helps Cooperating Agencies obtain information from NTIS in the quickest and most effective manner possible. Available in Spanish and English on request from NTIS' Office of International Affairs. The Workbook for Use at the Information Systems Workshops is a course guide and aide during the workshop and is a reference source that information managers have on return to their organizations. Many use it to train additional staff at home as well as large users of information in the community. An important aspect of training relates to the users of information in developing countries as well as the providers. The habit of using information is not yet es- tablished in many developing countries. In order to create an awareness of the value of information, its ready availability, and the mission. of network members to serve users' information needs, user education seminars are organized for developmental organizations, government and business. Available in English from NTIS' Office of International Affairs. Another educational tool is ACCESS to Information for International Development. It is a quarterly newsletter in- tended primarily to keep network agency staff members informed of project activities such as upcoming seminars, conferences, and regional meetings; new information products and services; activities of various project partici- pants; and other news items of mutual interest. Available free on request from NTIS' Office of International Affairs. Appropriate technology NTIS covers a broad spectrum of technology. At one end are those sophisticated capital-intensive techniques on which the post-industrialized world has come to de- pend. At the other end, is Appropriate Technology. Since 1977, NTIS has reflected the shift of emphasis within USAID from capital intensive development projects to a renewed attack on problems more directly affecting the life of the rural and urban poor. Appropriate Technology is the term most frequently used to identify this philosophy. In NTIS' interpretation of the term, a technology is ap- propriate when it is compatible with the economic and social conditions of its users. In developing economies, this often means low-cost, light-capital, intermediate- level, or alternative technologies. Appropriate technologies are often designed to meet the needs of low- income groups and usually have the following characteristics: • Can be operated and maintained locally • Are labor intensive • Use available energy sources • Make maximum use of local resources and skills • Mesh with local and cultural values and needs • Are environmentally sound NTIS has become a major clearinghouse for the inter- national exchange of Appropriate Technology informa- tion. The information covers agriculture, rural develop- ment, management, small business administration, health, construction engineering, energy, and virtually all other categories of technology. Typical sources of the information outside of the U.S. include such organizations as: Appropriate Technology Development Assoc, India; Centro Cooperative Tecnico Industrial, Honduras; COLCIENCIAS, Colombia; Grupo Talpuy, Peru; Indo- Pacific Fisheries Council, Thailand; Intermediate Technology Publications, UK; International Rice Research Inst., Philippines; Technology Consultancy Centre, Ghana and; U.N. Industrial Development Organization, Vienna. Selected information is translated into English, Spanish, and French to make it more usable to local groups working with the poor. To make available information more relevant to the needs of low income groups in Latin America and the Caribbean, NTIS works with a Panamanian organization (Grupo de Technologia Apropriada). This agency works with network participants to help them better understam the philosophy of appropriate technology and to aid loca clients in its utilization. This often involves a "repackag ing" effort on behalf of the local agency. The monthly newsletter Application of Moden Technology to International Development (AMTID) an nounces newly acquired reports and documents of par ticular interest to developing economies. Printed ii Spanish, English, and French versions, more than 30,00i copies are distributed each month by network partici pants to interested parties in developing countries. Network participants serve as guest editors in order t< assure items are announced which truly reflect the need of the target audiences (available free on request fron NTIS' Office of International Affairs.) Appropriate Technology Information for Developing Countries: Selected Abstracts from the NTIS Data Fil< (Second Edition) is a semi-annual report which cumulate all materials in the NTIS collection deemed Appropriati Technology. The current issue contains abstracts of mon than 1,000 documents plus subject, corporate author and personal author indexes. (Order PB80-1 17666, $5.50 In order for network participants to utilize all possibl sources of Appropriate Technology, NTIS compiled an published A Global Listing of Appropriate Technolog Organizations and Sources (Order PB-296 635, A08 This is a comprehensive listing of addresses of worldwid organizations, research institutes, and developmer groups involved in some aspect of Appropriat Technology. It is useful to those interested in contactin Appropriate Technology organizations in their regions a well as other parts of the world. To further assure that information be used by person most directly involved with development issues, a grar has been made by USAID to subsidize the purchase c documents in Latin America and the Caribbean. The sub sidy is administered by local cooperating agencies an NTIS. Watch for Price Codes Most prices in this catalog are in- dicated by Price Codes. For example: When you read Gasohol: A Technical Memorandum. NTIS Price: PCA04/M- FA01, you learn from the Price Code table on page 47 that A04 is the equivalent of $7, and the A01 is the equivalent of $3.50.

Scientific Event Alert Network offers bulletin The SEAN Bulletin is a monthly publication of the Scientific Event Alert Network (SEAN) in the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution. It reports timely information on a variety of worldwide natural science events such as volcanic eruptions, signifi- cant earthquakes, major fireballs, meteorite falls and finds, marine mammal strandings and sightings, discoveries of unusual natural history specimens, and population biology events including introductions, migra- tions and range expansions, diseases and afflictions, and mortalities. Events are reported to the SEAN scientific communications center by qualified scientific correspon- dents throughout the world. The data that appear in the Bulletin are frequently not published in scientific journals for several months or longer after the event occurrence. Therefore, research scientists, teachers, and librarians find the Bulletin unusually useful, as the information may be only days old when it reaches the reader. The SEAN Bulletin contains statistics, photos, maps, and graphs of the month's events whenever possible and it averages 20 pages monthly. Price: $40 annually; $5.00 single issue. Order PB81- 915700. 14 U.S. Market Share Reports are unique trade references U.S. Market Share Reports give a statistical picture of international trade in manufactured products, covering more than three-quarters of the total exported output of all the free world's factories. These are unique references that trace shifting trends in the movement of goods between countries. The five- year spread of data on the imports of some 1,100 com- modities by 90 countries reflects both the changing levels of those countries' import demands and shifts in the relative competitive positions of exporting countries. For the individual business executive, the Market Share Reports are the only available tool by which to compare his or her own export performance in any specific market over the five-year period with that of the industry as a whole, or with that of manufacturers of the same product in other countries. The 88 country reports produced in one year are priced at $4.75 each; the 1 ,100 commodity reports at $3.25 each. Request PB-294 300 (Market Share Catalog) from Publications Distribution, Room 1617, Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230. It is free and describes the uses of these reports.

China daily broadcasts indexed quarterly One of the most important information sources on China has been the Da/7y Report: People's Republic of China issued by the Foreign Broadcast Information Ser- vice (FBIS). The information published by FBIS enables researchers to analyze Chinese current events, identify personalities and trends, and learn first hand of crop damage and petroleum production, among much other information. Until now the research potential of the FBIS documents has been hampered by the lack of an index. Now this problem is eliminated. Each issue is indexed by subject, with a name index of important people, institutions, and organizations. It is designed for both the printed and microfiche versions of the Da/7y Report: People's Republic of China. The new Index is issued quarterly and can be ordered from Newsbank, Inc., 22 W. Putnam Ave., Greenwich, CT 06830. "NTIS was able to provide English versions of a foreign electrical specification, faster and more conveniently than It could be obtained direct- ly from the foreign association. It was particularly convenient to charge this service to an American Express account."— George w. Dlehl, Manager, Marketing Services, Joslyn Mfg and Supply Co. 29 Political, economic, & technical translations of Communist media The Joint Publications Research Service (JPRS), 1000 N. Glebe Rd., Arlington, VA 22201, translates and abstracts foreign language political and technical media for Federal agencies. More than 80,000 reports published since 1957 are available to the public through the NTIS Bibliographic Data Base. Most JPRS reports are concerned with publications in communist countries, though materials from all nations may be translated. About half of the reports are in the scientific and technical fields. Regular use of JPRS reports give scientists, engineers, technicians, researchers, and business people access to current foreign thought in many areas. An index to JPRS translations is available from The Micro Photo Division of Bell & Howell, Old Mansfield Road, Wooster, OH 44691. Called the Bell & Howell TRANSDEX Index, it has a keyword section, a names section, and a bibliographic listing section. In addition, the Index includes a brief section which correlates series titles with the specific document numbers. A standing order service provides for the automatic mailing of reports on a continuing basis, as translations are completed. Subscribers must open an NTIS Deposit Account with a minimum deposit of $25, which may also be used to order other NTIS products or services (see page xx). Single copies of back issues are available. Serials are not available in microfiche. Telephone (703) 487-4650.

About the dates of NTIS reports Sometimes NTIS technical reports bear dates seemingly not current. That is because the originating agencies occasionally delay the public availability pending their testing and development of the technology. Regardless of the dates of the reports, their first public availability is usually only weeks before their receipt by NTIS. 36 International Telecom Union Recommendations NTIS now offers the CCITT Orange Book from the International Telecommunications Union in Geneva, Switzerland.

Foreign market airgrams for exporters The expanded and improved Foreign Markets Reports Service from the International Trade Administration provides subscriptions to reports and surveys previously obtainable only on loan. The service provides the reports automatically in requested subject areas as soon as they are published. Foreign Market Airgrams can be received on the same automatic basis so that the subscriber benefits from all the worldwide resources of U.S. Foreign Service Posts. Selections may be made by Standard Industrial Clas- sification or by country. Subscribers to the service will continue to receive the monthly Index to Foreign Market Reports. An annual sub- scription to the Monthly Index alone is $10. Each Airgram alone, depending on the number of pages, usually is priced starting at $5. Subscribers to the automatic service receive the Monthly Index free; Airgrams at $2 each (instead of $5 for nonsubscribers); Foreign Market Surveys prepared by private market research firms or by Commerce Depart- ment researchers at $10 each, and current notifications of other relevant publications, free. Subscribers to the automatic service are required to open an NTIS Deposit Account (see page 54) to which shipments may be billed. All of NTIS' products and services are summarized in General Catalog No. 7 (see page 52). 40 Other NTIS products also relate to foreign technology Specific selections of foreign technical and research reports can be made from the NTIS system in a variety of ways. There are more than 300,000 titles available that are based on foreign technology or research. Several thousand new titles are acquired annually. NTIS Bibliographic Data Base All of the research summaries announced by NTIS are included in the NTIS Bibliographic Data Base (on magnetic tape). Most are complete bibliographic citations and may be used to create a wide variety of information products. Users of the NTIS Bibliographic Data Base are uniquely able to search a multiplicity of technical information input styles within the uniform NTIS format. There is no need for the user to acquire familiarity with different search strategies in order to search the several source tapes contributing to the NTIS file. Such "single" searching saves both computer and communication costs. The magnetic tape containing the data file may be ieased annually and files back to 1964 may be acquired. Current tapes are shipped to subscribers biweekly. Use fees are charged quarterly and based on factors such as the number of citations displayed or searches performed and the possibility of third party use. Published Searches These are the same high quality computer searches that NTIS sells daily for at least $125 each when custom made. The only difference is that Published Searches have been completed, printed, and published in response to either previous demand or to NTIS anticipation of unusually wide interest in particular subject areas. Therefore, Published Searches are scheduled, rather than performed on demand, and are less costly for NTIS to produce. There is no other difference. If you were to order an online NTISearch today it might include a few more research summaries completed since the last Published Search, but it would cost you at least $125. Most of these 2,200 or so specially priced Published Searches consist of between 100 and 200 research sum- maries (abstracts) of advanced technology. Most of the reports summarized also are sold by NTIS. 41 Custom Searches If your information need is not included among the NTIS Published Searches (see page 41) you should consider a custom search of the entire collection, in collaboration with an NTIS specialist who will assist you to determine the likelihood of success before you initiate the search. Full -text profiles in fiche You can vastly expand your coverage of U.S. Govern- ment research and development with only a modest infor- mation budget. Selected Research in Microfiche (SRIM) limits your expense by sending you complete research reports (not just abstracts) in microfiche in only the sub- ject areas you select. Our analysts will help you choose from 390 categories and subcategories and 200,000 descriptive terms. Full text microfiche copies of the reports are sent to you biweekly and instead of the regular single fiche report price of $3.50 you pay only 85 cents for each SRIM microfiche title automatically selected from your category. A quarterly index of your category selections, in paper orfilm, is optional. Each microfiche can contain the equivalent of 98 pages of text arranged in 4x6 inches (105mm x 148.75mm) and may be easily read with any microfiche viewer. You can easily carry the equivalent of fifty 300-page books in one pocket. You don't have to wait to track down a specific report, order it, and wait for reprinting if it's out of stock. You get the full report, complete with every illustration and nota- tion. By the time you read of a report's availability, the report will have been selected by SRIM and be on its way to you. You can arrange for SRIM in a variety of informa- tion patterns. Abstract Newsletters Abstract Newsletters provide thousands of readers with timely research summaries within three weeks of their receipt by NTIS from the originating agencies. Abstract Newsletters ensure maximum coverage of broad areas of Government research in brief and convenient form and at minimal cost. Summaries of special interest are noted by the term Highlight, Published Search, Foreign Technology, or Foreign Marketing Information. The final issue of the year is a special subject and order number index containing up to 10 cross references for each research summary indexed. The Abstract Newslet- ter titles and annual subscription rates are: Administration & Management $70 Agriculture & Food $60 Behavior & Society $60 Biomedical Technology & Human Factors Engineering $50 Building Industry Technology $65 Business & Economics $65 Chemistry $70 Civil Engineering $70 Communication $55 Computers, Control & Information Theory $80 42 Electrotechnology $55 Energy $80 Environmental Pollution & Control $80 Government Inventions for Licensing $180 Health Planning & Health Services Research $60 Industrial & Mechanical Engineering $65 Library & Information Sciences $50 Materials Sciences $70 Medicine & Biology $60 NASA Earth Resources Survey Program ( Bimonthly) $50 Natural Resources & Earth Sciences $60 Ocean Technology & Engineering $55 Physics $60 Problem-Solving Information for State & Local Governments $50 Transportation $70 Urban & Regional Technology & Development $50 All NTIS abstracts in one volume Summaries of U.S. Government research are published in one biweekly volume that includes five indexes. Coverage is comprehensive— about 70,000 new summaries annually, more than 7000 pages— and is indexed by subject, personal and corporate author, and Government contract and report/accession numbers. The Government Reports Announcements & Index was designed for librarians and technical information specialists and for those used to working with technical information terms and sources. The NTIS Bibliographic Data Base (on magnetic tape) from which the GRA&I is composed is available for lease. See page 41. GRA&I Annual subscription: $275. Multiple subscrip- tions ordered at the same time for the same address are sold at a 15 percent discount. Special Six -Volume Annual Index A cumulation of the 26 issues of the biweekly GRA&I Index is included in the Index. It consists of six volumes: Subject, Personal Author, Corporate Author, and Contract Numbers & Accession/ Report Numbers.

These representatives as- sure NTIS clients in those countries of fast and efficient service when transacting business with NTIS. They offer the convenience of accepting payment in local currencies and they can solve any order-related problem. These representatives also locate foreign technology for the NTIS collection. NTIS customers in the countries listed should direct their orders and inquiries to the designated represen- tatives. NTIS foreign prices usually apply in countries other than the United States, Canada and Mexico. But, by special arrangement with the NTIS representatives in cer- tain developing countries the North American price may apply. Customers ordering for destinations outside of the United States, Canada and Mexico may request the free current NTIS Foreign Price List (NTIS-PR-360-4), or ask for the specific foreign price of any product or service.

And every second of the NTIS workday, a buyer receives a specially re- quested information item. About 3,600 new buyers are added to the NTIS customer list monthly and 10,000 customers make repeat purchases, resulting in 23,500 items of information being shipped daily. Every three minutes during the NTIS workday two new technical reports enter the NTIS system. 47 How to order The prices In this catalog cover sales In the United States, Canada and Mexico. Buyers for foreign destina- tions should read Foreign Orders, below. RUSH HANDLING (replaces "Rush Order") is for customers who must have immediate delivery. Rush Handling guarantees that a particular order will be filled within 24 hours of receipt. Rush Handling orders receive immediate validation, verification of availability, and individual hand processing through inventory control and the warehouse; priority printing if reproduction from film is required, and priority mailing. Rush Handling orders for mailing rather than pickup are accepted only from customers having NTIS Deposit Accounts or American Express, Visa, or MasterCard Ac- counts. Rush Handling orders may be placed only by telephone, telegram, Telex, Telecopier (numbers inside back cover) or customers in person; not by mail. Customers must use order numbers. Rush Handling for delivery to customers by First Class Mail adds $10 to the cost of each item or copy ordered. Rush Handling for pickup in Springfield or D.C. adds $6 to the cost of each item or copy ordered. PREMIUM SERVICE is a day and night toll-free telephone ordering procedure ensuring order processing and mailing within four to nine days to NTIS Deposit Ac- count or American Express, Visa, or MasterCard customers. The $3.50 fee for each item is waived if the order is not mailed within the specified period. Customers must use order numbers. Titles alone cannot be accepted in this procedure. All Deposit Account, American Express, Visa, and MasterCard customers receive Premium Service iden- tification numbers with which they may place telephone orders at any time. Premium Service benefits are toll-free calls with 24-hour availability, no busy signals, simplified ordering techniques (details with the identification number), postage savings, and priority delivery. Premium Service adds $3.50 to the cost of each item ordered. REGULAR SERVICE will continue to operate with improved processing and stocking methods, optional priority mail delivery ($3 North America; $4 outside) and optional pickup in Springfield or D.C. Current parcel post deliveries using the U.S. Postal Service are completed within 9 to 30 days. ONLINE ORDERING: The commercial vendors of the NTIS Bibliographic Data Base are experimenting with the convenience of online ordering of NTIS documents for their customers. Currently, online ordering is offered by the Systems Development Corporation (SDC). It permits SDC customers to charge their NTIS Deposit Accounts for orders that are transmitted daily to NTIS. Inquiries should be addressed to SDC, 2500 Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, California 90406. TELEX: Ordering from NTIS may be speeded by the use of Telex. Customers may charge their Deposit Ac- counts, credit cards or ask for Ship & Bill Service. Ship & Bill Service costs $5 extra for each order. FOREIGN ORDERS: Should bemadethroughthe sales agencies for NTIS products listed on page 44. Only if there is no sales agency in a particular country, should orders be placed directly with NTIS. 48 How to pay The prices in this catalog cover sales in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Buyers for foreign destina- tions should read page 48. The fastest service is provided to customers who charge against their NTIS Deposit Accounts or their American Express, Visa, or MasterCard accounts, because the processing of such orders is simplest for NTIS. Holders of NTIS Deposit Accounts may replenish their accounts using the above credit cards. And new Deposit Accounts may be opened in the same manner. Otherwise, payment by check or money order must ac- company each order. As an added convenience to customers who have es- tablished credit, a Ship and Bill Service is provided, generally at a $5 surcharge on each total order for docu- ments, regardless of the number of documents ordered. DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLE COPIES When 20 or more paper copies of one title are ordered, NTIS automatically reduces the total price by 15 percent. HOW TO OPEN A DEPOSIT ACCOUNT Use the order form on page 53 and send at least $25, or enough to cover your first order, to NTIS Deposit Ac- count, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Thereafter, keep at least $25 on deposit or enough to cover two month's charges. Orders will not be processed for overdrawn accounts. You may deposit any amount prior to ordering. Some active customers keep several thousand dollars in their accounts to ensure the fastest possible service for large orders. When your account is opened, you will receive pre- addressed order forms to speed your shipments and simplify accounting and the recording of tax-deductible expenses. RETAIL SALES AT TWO LOCATIONS NTIS has two retail sales locations in the Washington area. In the District of Columbia, the NTIS Information Center and Bookstore is in the Pennsylvania Building, Suite 620, 425 13th Street N.W. Telephone (202) 724-3382. Several hundred best selling titles are displayed for sale and for immediate delivery without the Rush Handling surcharge. The Springfield Operations Center has a much more limited display of research reports, but any titles may be ordered for future delivery. FOR MORE INFORMATION Use the order form on page 52 to request the specific supplemental information referred to on the various pages of this catalog. For information not covered by the order form, please direct your inquiry to Customer Services, NTIS, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161; or telephone (703) 487-4600 or (202) 724-3509. 49 Basic NT IS product is Federal research and technical information As a cornerstone of the technological publishing struc- ture in the United States, the National Technical Informa- tion Service (NTIS) is a key participant in the development of advanced information products and services for the achievement of U.S. productivity and innovational goals in the 1980s. Three of the developmental areas in which progress is well underway are: 1. The greatly increased public availability of Federal computer software, programs, and data files. 2. The planned systematic acquisition of generally unpublished foreign technology, worldwide, of particular interest to U.S. industrialists. 3. The promotion of U.S. Government-owned pa- tents for licensing by U.S. manufacturers, and the public availability of U.S. Patent and Trademark Office data files on magnetic tape. NTIS, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is the central source for the public sale of U.S. govern- ment sponsored research, development, and engineering reports, as well as foreign technical reports and other analyses prepared by national and local government agencies, their contractors or grantees. It is the central source for federally generated machine processable data files and manages the Federal Software Center for intragovernment distribution. NTIS is one of the world's leading processors of specialty information. The NTIS information collection exceeds 1.2 million ti- tles, about 300,000 of which contain foreign technology or marketing information. All are permanently available for sale, either directly from the 80,000 titles in shelf stock or from the microfiche masters of titles less in demand. Seventy thousand new reports of completed research are added to the data base annually. In the same period NTIS supplies its customers with more than six million docu- ments and microforms. It ships about 23,500 information products daily. Full summaries of current U.S. and foreign research reports and other specialized information, in hundreds of subject categories, are published regularly by NTIS in a wide variety of weekly newsletters, a biweekly journal, an annual index, and in various subscription formats for other Federal agencies. The complete texts of the reports cited are sold in paper and microform. Anyone seeking the latest technical reports or wanting to compile unique subject groups of abstracts may search the NTIS Bibliographic Data Base online, using the services of organizations that maintain the data base for public use through contractual relationships with NTIS. Or, the whole data base may be leased in machine- readable form directly from NTIS.

Customers with well defined continuing interests subscribe to a standing order microfiche service (SRIM) which enables them automatically to receive the full texts of only those documents relating to their individual re- quirements. A similar service provides the automatic distribution of paperbound reports. NTIS sells its technical information products and ser- vices under the provisions of Title 15 of the U.S. Code (1151-7). The law establishes a clearinghouse for scien- tific, technical, and engineering information and directs NTIS to be self-supporting. NTIS, therefore, is a unique Government agency sustained only by its customers. It operates very much as a business, but in the public service. All the costs of NTIS products and services, including rent, telephone, salaries, marketing and postage, and all other usual costs of doing business, are paid from sales income; not from tax-supported congressional appropriations. First Federal Research Reflected by Three Pioneer Undertakings The first federally funded research was in 1768, or in 1803, or in 1830. You may choose the date ac- cording to your interpretation of three pioneer un- dertakings. In 1768 the colonial Philadelphia Assembly authorized 100 pounds in public funds to be spent for a telescope that would enable local academi- cians to observe the transit of Venus. In 1803 Congress authorized $2500 for the ex- ploration of the upper Missouri River, "so* as to ex- tend the external commerce of the United States." In 1830, after a series of catastrophic steamboat boiler explosions, Congress appropriated $1500 for experiments to determine how such explosions could be prevented. The project is generally con- sidered the first Federal research contract and it was undertaken by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. Possibly never since has $1500 worth of research bought such success. The investigating committees' six detailed recommendations revolutionized steam boiler manufacture and use in the U.S. and contributed to legislation that set the standards for steam boilers for years to come. "I like the new Title Index a lot! I use the accession number and author index immediately and find the fiche much faster to use. Saves the time and money of a more involved lookup!"— Jeanne L.

It channels information about technological in- novations and other specialized information to business, educators, government, and the public. Its products and services are intended to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of U.S. research and development, to support U.S. foreign policy goals by assisting the social and economic development of other nations, and to increase the availability of foreign technical information in the United States. NTIS undertakes and develops in- novative information products and programs ap- propriate for Government, but which have the potential to become self-supporting. NO CHARGE IF NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED If you find that the reports and microfiche you receive from NTIS are occasionally not what you expected, NTIS will refund their purchase price if the items are returned with your refund request and copies of your original order.
