SRIM® is a tailored information service that delivers complete microfiche copies of government publications based on your needs, automatically, within a few weeks of announcement by NTIS. By receiving the full text of these reports, you will know that you can provide your clients with immediate access to important government publications.

350 Prechosen Subject Topics Allow You to Pinpoint Just the Publications You Need.

You can also develop a selection criteria based upon subject keywords using our Custom SRIM Service.

The Value of SRIM

SRIM is particularly valuable for corporate and special libraries -- especially those that need new information immediately on a particular topic. You receive the full-text of publications when others are only receiving summary abstracts.

Save Time and Money

Automatically, every two weeks, your SRIM profile is run against all new publications received by NTIS and the publications microfiched for your order. Now, instead of paying from $15-$30 for each publication you purchase on a demand basis, you only pay $3.50 for each publication you receive.

SRIM saves you Space

Each publication is sent as 4x6 microfiche containing up to 98 pages per microfiche sheet (24x). If the microfiche is computer-generated, there are 270 pages per sheet (48x).
