Current Document Handling Procedures at Defense Technical Information Center

Abstract

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is responsible for the collection control, and dissemination of scientific and technical information for the Defense community. Thousands of technical reports enter DTIC each year, and thousands of reproductions are distributed to DTIC's users. The processing of these reports is a complicated procedure, involving many steps and decisions. This paper tracks the document handling process that was in effect as of 1 September 1985, and comments on areas which could be improved.
