CENDI Interest Areas — Distribution Markings

CENDI has a long history of sharing information with regard to Federal Agency practices for marking various publications and documents as to their distribution. Federal agency scientific and technical information (STI) programs and libraries have varying missions, which impact the dissemination of their STI. The degree to which public or more limited dissemination is supported by enabling legislation also varies. Concerns over information for homeland and national security and the impact of e-government have resulted in a renewed emphasis on distribution markings. As a result, a task group with members from DOE, DTIC, NAL, and NASA has undertaken a study of the current practice across agencies.
