Book excerpt: The United States National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) is an independent agency charged by Section 5 of PL 91-345 to take a leadership position on matters pertaining to the library and information needs of the nation. Specifically, Section 1504(a)(1) of Title 20 says that the Commission shall "advise the President and the Congress on the implementation of national policy by such statements, presentations, and reports as it deems appropriate." In fulfillment of that statutory mandate, the Commission has been carefully studying the proposal made in August 1999 by the Department of Commerce to close the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) and shift its paper, microfiche, digital archives, and bibliographic database to the Library of Congress. Soon after Secretary Daley's announcement, the Commission met with senior Departmental officials, as well as staff members of both the Senate and House committees holding jurisdiction over science and technology issues. All recognized the value of an independent examination of the Commerce proposal, and all participated in the Commission's public and working meetings, and other fact and opinion gathering activities during the September 1999 - February 2000 period. I am attaching our report, which documents results of the Commission's research, interviews, public meetings, government meetings, and other fact and opinion gathering efforts, and spells out fully our specific findings, conclusions, and recommendations. It is called a "preliminary assessment" because we plan to undertake an in-depth study of all alternatives later.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a simple announcement on a summer day. It appeared to be a straightforward proposal to solve a serious problem. Constrained by a statutory requirement for self-funding and facing a new paradigm in information dissemination, the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) was failing. As federal agencies distributed reports at no cost on the World Wide Web-- reports that formerly NTIS had distributed--NTIS was unable to collect revenue sufficient to cover its costs of cataloging and maintaining its collection. The proposal put forth in August 1999 by the Department of Commerce (where NTIS is organizationally located) was to close NTIS and move its collections and functions to the Library of Congress. The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) immediately recognized this proposal to be far more significant than it first appeared. Fundamental issues regarding how the government used, disseminated and valued its information resources were at stake. The Commission stepped forward and prepared a preliminary assessment of the proposed closure of NTIS, which it delivered to the President and Congress. This report recommended a number of steps to keep NTIS operational, but it also stated that a much broader assessment of the underlying issues involved in public information dissemination throughout government was needed.
