Finding Technical Reports
Department of Energy (DOE)
The University of Arizona Library has microfiche copies of most technical reports issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) from 1977 through 1995. (Copies of reports on microfiche are organized by report number in the DOE microfiche cabinets.) After 1995, DOE stopped issuing print and microfiche copies of their reports and began posting all reports electronically through the DOE Information Bridge.
There is some overlap in coverage for DOE technical reports in the UA Library collections, either by format (print and microfiche) or between issuing agencies (e.g. reports issued by both DOE and the National Technical Information Service - NTIS). Copies of reports in print format can be found by searching Sabio [Hint: Most reports are listed with the author as -- United States. Department of Energy as the author.]
Information on reports issued by predecessor agencies to the Department of Energy can be found under:

- Use the report number to locate the technical report in the microfiche collection.
- The AEC, ERDA and DOE microfiche collections are located in appropriately labeled microfiche cabinets located in the Science-Engineering Library Current Periodicals and Microfiche room on the ground floor of the Science-Engineering Library.
For reports issued from 1977-1995, for which you do not have a DOE report number
- If you are having trouble locating the technical report by the originating agency, you may want to try locating the report in the microfiche collection of National Technical Information Service reports at the UA Library.
