RFC 182 Jeanne North NIC 7126 ARPA Network Information Center Category I.2 Stanford Research Institute (ARC)

                                                            25-JUN-71

            COMPILATION OF LIST OF RELEVANT SITE REPORTS

 The Network Information Center is working to compile a list of all
 Site-produced reports which are of interest to Network participants.
 Reports procuced under ARPA IPT contracts and any other relevant
 reports produced by the Sites on information processing, network
 planning, the hardware and sorfware for the projects, and some
 general reports on the subject concerns of individual Sites, are
 being identified, to be listed and acquired for the Network
 Information Center collection.

 In an initial effort to gather information, NIC requested the first
 Station Agents to send copies of any existing bibliographies of their
 Site's reports.  Since then, other efforts have occupied NIC's time,
 and the projeted bibliography of network reports is not yet issued.
 In the meantime, several Agents have sent lists of their Site's
 reports, and Peggy Karp's bibliography has covered much of the
 ground.  In the meantime, also, the expected demand for a compilation
 of references and for an accessible collection of the actual reports
 has developed.  NIC has responsibility to satisfy this demand from
 Sites for other relevant reports, to allow Sites to refer requests
 for their own reports to the NIC for centralized handling, and to
 provide Sites and others with bibliographic tools to facilitate
 reference to all Network reports.

 Requests from inside or outside the Network for reports performed
 under an ARPA IPT Contract may be forwarded or referred to NIC for
 answer.  NIC will not attempt to supply copies to outsiders, but will
 answer the request with information for ordering from government
 where this information is known, or will refer the request to the
 report's originator when necessary.

 NIC would appreciate receiving any other existing bibliographies of
 relevant Site-produced reports.

 NIC would also appreciate being placed on distribution lists for new
 relevant Site-produced reports.
