reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADB162475 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The purpose of this document is to describe recent changes in the institutional environment affecting plans, programs and operations of the Defense Technical Information Center. The potential impact of these changes on users, information requirements, and information collection, analysis, and dissemination activities is described. The need to focus on user-oriented products and services provided by DTIC is explored. This document is intended to assist DTIC staff and DTIC users in better identifying information requirements, information products, and information services. The future role of DTIC is likely to expand as all DoD components seek to accomplish their institutional missions with fewer budgetary resources.
