This directory, compiled in 1998, lists institutions with substantial discrete collections of technical reports. It should be noted that many area libraries contain "random" technical reports which have been catalogued, classified, and integrated into their general collections. These documents can usually be identified by author or subject searches in WNYLRC Virtual Union Catalog or other local library catalogs.
Current contact information as well as information about accessing the collections of the libraries listed below can be obtained from the WNYLRC Member Libraries Directory.
