ECD provides free access to over 2.6 million
ECD was created and developed by DOE's
Scope
Topics, or subjects, and Department of Energy disciplines of interest in Energy Citations Database (ECD) are wide-ranging.
Stated capabilities
Commensurate with the above search capabilities is sorting results by various means. Results can be sorted by relevance, publication date, system entry date, resource/document type, title, research organization, sponsoring organization, or the unique Office of Scientific Information (OSTI) Identifier. Furthermore, acquiring a count of search results, combined with a link to the actual results is available.
- ability to receive weekly Alerts in topics of interest;
- information about acquiring a non-electronic document
Research and database in predecessor agencies
Since the late 1940s, the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) and its predecessor organizations have been responsible for the management of scientific and technical information (STI) for the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). Growth and development of STI management has incorporated planning, developing, maintaining, and administering all services and facilities required to accomplish the dissemination of scientific and technical information for the encouragement of scientific progress.[3]
Atomic Energy Commission
In 1942, the
Energy Reorganization Act
The
First was to focus the Federal Government's
Department of Energy
To achieve a major Federal energy reorganization, the Department of Energy (DOE) was activated on October 1, 1977. DOE became the twelfth cabinet-level department in the Federal Government and brought together for the first time most of the government's energy programs and defense responsibilities that included the design, construction, and testing of nuclear weapons.[3][5]

SciDAC
SciDAC is a specially designed program within the
Regional Federal Depository Libraries
There are nearly 1,250 depository libraries throughout the United States and its territories. Access to all documents (hundreds of thousands) is no-fee access. Expert assisted searches are available, on site.
Federal depository libraries have been established by Congress to ensure that the American public has access to its Government's information. The Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) involves the acquisition, format conversion, and distribution of depository materials to libraries throughout the United States and the coordination of Federal depository libraries in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
The U.S. Government Printing Office administers the FDLP.[7]
