Structuring a Technical Report: Topical Technical Reports

Quick Recommendations for Finding Technical Reports

Some technical reports are cataloged like books and can be found through a library's catalog, while others are available in specialized databases or freely accessible online. Below are lists of databases that can help you locate a technical report.

To start, gather as much information about the report as possible, such as the full title and publication details.

  • Check the report’s title and find the report number in the National Technical Reports Library (NTRL).
  • Use search tools like Google Scholar, HathiTrust, or WorldCat to confirm the citation's accuracy and see if the report was published in a journal, conference proceeding, or under a different report number.
  • If you’re having difficulty finding the report at UTA, and it’s not available through our resources, you can request it via interlibrary loan, and we’ll obtain it from another library. For any further assistance, feel free to contact the engineering librarian!
