THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES INFORMATION CENTER (EPIC)
Abstract
The Electronic Properties Information Center has expanded its scope to include increased coverage of the optical properties of materials, revised and expanded its indexing system to accommodate this expansion, acquired 10,000 carefully reviewed documents, bringing EPIC holdings to 42,000 items, and delivered to the Air Force a complete index to these holdings. Over 15,000 copies of 38 technically competent publications, prepared during this period, were distributed to EPIC users. The use of the Center has increased dramatically during this period; 2861 requests were received by the Center, an increase of 65 percent over a similar 1966-67 period, and over 1000 individual scientists and engineers currently avail themselves of the Center's services on a regular basis, an increase of 73 percent since January 1968. The EPIC publicity and sales programs, aggressively pursued during this period, and the Center's future plans are reviewed.
