Current Awareness Bibliographies
(CAB/ECAB/ECAB-DOCS)

The Product

The Current Awareness Bibliography Program provides the latest information at your fingertips. After determining your subject profile, you will receive a customized bibliography twice a month of newly acquired accessions in the Technical Reports Bibliographic Database in paper copy or electronically via email.

Current Awareness Bibliographies--or CAB--provide abstracts to all unclassified, unlimited distribution, unclassified, limited and classified citations according to user eligibility. Electronic Current Awareness Bibliographies--or ECAB--contain abstracts only for unclassified/unlimited citations. All unclassified, limited distribution and classified citations appear without abstracts or identifiers.

The Database

The Technical Reports Bibliographic Database is a collection of nearly 2 million bibliographic records and abstracts of completed Department of Defense (DoD) research efforts in print and nonprint formats, such as technical reports, patent applications, conference papers, theses, software, data files, databases, and videos.
