Accessing STINET and Other DTIC Information
Private STINET
Obtaining a Password for Private STINET
The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is a clearinghouse for a wide variety of defense-related scientific and technical reports. Through its Scientific and Technical Information Network (STINET) database, DTIC indexes, abstracts, and sometimes provides the full text of these reports. The library owns some of these reports in print, and has nearly all of them available on microfiche.
