Abstract

Abstract : Computers have changed the way we handle and distribute numeric data. Computers provide available information, quickly and with various data manipulations for analyses, calculations and evaluations. DTIC has a role to play in developing numeric databases because these new resources are causing DTIC's users needs to change. DTIC 2000, the program plan, justifies DTIC's participation in numeric database efforts. Traditional bibliographic resources that DTIC provides will no longer suffice because of the advent of computers. Numeric databases provide end users the data itself, not just pointers. Also, DTIC users will be changing because more end users will do their own searches of numeric databases. Intermediary responsibilities will increase because they will assist end users.
