NECSRS Home > About Necsrs About the National Electronic Child Support Resource System (NECSRS)In an effort to meet States' training and technical assistance needs, the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), with input from our State partners, developed the National Electronic Child Support Resource System (NECSRS). NECSRS provides the user with timely and easy access to a wealth of Child Support Enforcement (CSE) resources available from Federal, State, local, and Tribal CSE organizations. NECSRS' main emphasis is to identify and electronically index these resources which are organized by:
The NECSRS database contains a profile for each resource document. Users can perform full text searches by using key words found in the profiles, much like using a card catalog system at a public library. Users can access resource material by entering key words by subject, resource type, document title, State, or other key index categories. NECSRS provides the capability (on-line help and instructions are included) to download internet files such as HTML (the standard file format of the World Wide Web) and PDF (Adobe Acrobat's Portable Document Format) into a format which can be saved to a computer's hard drive. Some resource materials are also available in other file formats. The NECSRS user can view electronically stored documents, highlight and print specified sections, and/or download the entire document to a computer. NECSRS provides a contact person for resource material that is not electronically available. NECSRS ObjectivesThe NECSRS objectives are to: provide an electronic system to facilitate rapid, timely access, and dissemination of CSE resource materials among Federal, State, local, and Tribal CSE organizations; identify and index resource materials contributed by Federal, State, local, and Tribal CSE organizations; and provide NECSRS users with the ability to search, locate, view, and/or download resources from an extensive library of CSE resource materials via the Internet.
