Microform Collection Guide

Agency Cabinets Search Full Text Source
Non-government tech reports on microfiche (shelved alphabetically) A, B and C Which search engines and full text sources to use will greatly depend on the particular title of interest. Libraries Search will help you with journal or series titles. For example, you'll find "AIAA Paper", but not something so granular as "Trade Studies for Air Launching a Small Launch Vehicle (AIAA-2005-0621)".  When a title in Libraries Search has been reproduced online, you will find "(full text)" in the catalog record in your search results.  Beyond Libraries Search, it may be helpful to know that NATO documents from AGARD / RTO (now STO) are online from roughly 1998 to current. Check our library catalog for AIAA Papers (online from 1996) and Journal of Chemical Research (online from 1997).
