New U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) Newsletter

by Taryn Rucinski

The U.S. Department of Energy 's (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) recently began reissuing its OSTI Newsletter in an online format. Beginning with July 2012, vol. 1 issue 1, this newsletter focuses on providing updates on the "OSTI Mission: Advancing science and sustaining technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to . . . [ ] DOE researchers and the public." In addition, it appears that the newsletter will also incorporate the DOE's new monthly Science Showcase, a monthly update that provides researchers with information relating to the DOE's document and database holdings in certain hot topic areas (see below). RSS feeds are available for OSTI updates and email subscriptions are available for the newsletter.

Previous Showcases:

Wind Power (Aug. 2012).
Nanotechnology (July 2012).
