MISSIONWe advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to Department of Energy (DOE) researchers and the public.

Science advances only if knowledge is Science advances only if knowledge is shared. shared.

OSTI Corollary OSTI Corollary We believe the advancement of science is We believe the advancement of science is accelerated by sharing knowledge more easily, accelerated by sharing knowledge more easily, faster and at lower cost .faster and at lower cost .

DOE STI Program

We collect STI from ORNL, Y-12 & labs and weapons facilities across the country

STI = Scientific and Technical Information7

OSTI coordinates the DOE-wide network that makes sure DOE R&D results are:

• collected • preserved • made accessible

via multiple web outlets.

Nearly all R&D results published by nearly all U.S. R&D agencies made searchable via a single search box

Nearly all R&D results published by or on behalf of governments of all nations with R&D programs made searchable via a single search box

We are rapidly introducing search technology that “thinks like we think” (Semantic Search) www.OSTI.gov/greenenergy

Improving search accuracy by mapping your key word to concepts both narrower and broader

Yes, OSTI’s electronic collections are HUGE . . . yet only represent 15% of DOE’s total historic R&D output since the 1940s. 

We need to digitize and provide access to the remaining 85%. This this will require a $5 million investment . . . to unleash the value of

$400 billion in R&D.

How do you unleash the value of $400 billion in R&D?

What is the value of this vision?U.S. leadership in medicine & genomics is supported by the world’s best information infrastructure: the NIH/National Library of Medicine. That’s approximately $350M/year in commitment to cyber-infrastructure and data. It is a model for advancing science.

A DOE NLE would be a national resource to advance energy literacy, innovation and security.
