By creating descriptive bibliographies(finding aids) that incorporate metadata standards, materials that were once hidden and lost toresearchers, are now easily discovered and used.IntroductionEven without financial pressures on library budgets, collections of technical reports typicallydon’t rank too high on priority lists for processing and inclusion in libraries’ holdings. Technicalreports however, always found their way on library shelves or cabinets where they would be filedfor easy physical browsing and discovery by library users.
