DoD STINFO Program Manager
- The DoD STINFO Manager Training Program
increases attendees' knowledge of the DoD STINFO program, provides instruction
to the management and conduct of an organizational STINFO program, and facilitates
more direct information exchange among those who oversee scientific and technical
information programs (STIP). The Basic STINFO Manager Training Program course
is three days, but selected modules can be taught in 1- or 2-day sessions.
STINFO Manager Overview
- A one day overview of the most significant material covered in
the three day class. It is intended as a refresher for experienced
STINFO personnel or as an introduction for those new to the field.
Searching DTIC Databases
- DTIC Online Limited is DTIC's Web-based resource for accessing unclassified or limited information for Defense research, development, engineering, and warfighter communities. DTIC Online Limited provides access to citations as well as to the full text of Technical Reports (TR), Research Summaries (RS), Independent Research and Development reports (IR&D) and Research & Development Descriptive Summaries (RDDS). This three-day, hands-on class covers the contents of each of these databases and provides extensive practical instruction and real-world exercises in searching and retrieving a wide variety of information. If all attendees are from the same organization, customized training modules can be developed relevant to that group's specific requirements, or additional courses of varying lengths can be added to provide tailored instruction. User-site instruction can also be arranged if the requesting organization assumes the instructors' travel and lodging costs.
Marking Technical Documents Course
- This class provides an understanding of the rationale and mechanics of assigning appropriate distribution statements, the For Official Use Only (FOUO) marking, and the export control warning notice to DOD STINFO. Instruction includes lecture, videotapes, handouts, training text, and STIP documentation. This course is offered only by specific request.
