Objectives of the Session : Get to know the valuable resources inside/outside Georgia Tech Library Effectively access the resources and search for relevant literature Get exposure to useful internet resources and related search engines Be familiar with tools and services that are useful for your research 2

3. Environment Engineering - Definition Sections: Air-quality control; Water supply; Wastewater disposal; Stormwater management; Solid-waste management; Hazardous-waste management. The division of engineering concerned with the environment and management of natural resources. The environmental engineer places special attention on the biological, chemical, and physical reactions in the air, land, and water environments and on improved technology for integrated management systems, including reuse, recycling, and recovery measures.

41. Technical Reports Technical report - a document written by a researcher detailing the results of a project and submitted to the sponsor of that project. Many of Georgia Tech's reports are government sponsored and are on microfiche. DOE, EPA, NASA and DoD are top sponsors. A number of U.S. Government sponsors now make technical reports full text available on the internet, e.g. DOE, NASA, EPA. Technical reports may be published before the corresponding journal literature Content may be more detailed than the corresponding journal literature, although there may be less background information since the sponsor already knows it Technical reports are usually not peer reviewed unless the report is separately published as journal literature Classified and export controlled reports have restricted access. Obscure acronyms and codes are frequently used. 41

42. Technical Reports Index: NTIS (National Technical Information Service) Citations and abstracts from unclassified government- sponsored research reports from the DoD, DOE, NASA, EPA and other federal agencies, and international government departments and other international organizations including those from Canada, Japan, the former Soviet Union, Western and Eastern European countries. Some additional older research reports may be indexed in the STAR index, available at call number TL 500.S35 on the 2nd floor of the East building of the library. 1964 - 42

43. Search technical reports: Using NTIS database Look for MF using Report Number 43
