NTIS and GeoRef
Vendor Change

To provide improved access at reduced cost, the State Library will now offer NTIS and GeoRef databases through Elsevier's Engineering Village service. While migrating, there may be a brief period of time when remote access is not yet available. During the week of October 19th patrons may call the Library's Reference Desk at 474-5355 and request a search in NTIS or GeoRef mediated by a librarian through another service. Thank you for your patience.
