INTRODUCTION
This is the Final Report for the core operations of the Metalsand Ceramics Information Center (MCIC) operated by Battelle underContract No. DLA900-83-C-1744. This effort was initiated on15 June 1983; except for the continued sale of publications and thecompletion of 10 special tasks, all core activities were discontinued asof 15 August 1990.
MCIC was the outgrowth of information center activities startedat Battelle in 1955 as the Titanium Metallurgy Laboratory (TML). Threeyears later, TML was expanded to include other metals used in criticalDepartment of Defense (DoD) applications and renamed Defense MetalsInformation Center (DMIC).
Based on the DMIC example, in the early 1960's, the Ceramicsand Graphite Technical Evaluation Center was established at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. After being chartered as a DoD InformationAnalysis Center (IAC) this program was contracted to Battelle in 1967for operation as the Defense Ceramic Information Center (DCIC).
In 1971, DMIC and DCIC were merged to form the MCIC. The newscope now covered Loth metals and ceramics of interest to DoD and itsrelated industrial and academic communities.
In 1979, Battelle was awarded the contract for the operation ofthe Mechanical Properties Data Center (MPDC). Because of the overlap ofscopes, MCIC absorbed MPDC in 1982. Except for the numeric database(which was discontinued) all other MPDC activities were now coveredunder the MCIC scope. The major publications of MPDC, the AerospaceStructural Metals Handbook and the Structural Alloys Handbook, werecontinued.
With a bibliographic database that has grown to 67,406computerized records and a manual file of over 70,000 (prior to 1971),MCIC has become a valuable source of information for DoD agencies andtheir contractor community.
The technical management of the Center has been assigned to theOffice of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research and AdvancedTechnology; Mr. Jerome Persh was the Contracting Officer's TechnicalRepresentative. The contract administration has been performed by theDefense Logistics Agency through the Defense Electronics Supply Center;Mrs. Sarah Williams was the Contracting Officer.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The objective of MCIC's operations was to increase theproductivity of scientists, engineers, and technicians engaged inscientific and engineering programs for the Department of Defense.
I
I2MCIC was a major source for technical and bibliographic
information for DoD agencies, DoD subcontractors, and related U.S.industry. Also, MCIC served a larger technical community through the
availability of its products and services.
ACTIVITY SUMMARY
I Activities during this reporting period are summarized asfollows:
S-- Acquisition and Input of Source Information.
Documents Content. PercentAcquired and Added to Metals and Ceramics Foreign,
The MCIC database also continued to serve as a resource forother users (through DROLS on-line services). An average of162 sites per month retrieved 32,934 records in FY-1990.
Inquiry Services. For the final reporting period, 32 inquirieswere handled -- 24 technical and 8 bibliographic. Total incomeduring this period was $468. For the entire contract, $47,385income was realized from the MCIC inquiry services.
Handbooks and State-of-the-Art Reports (SOARs). The sale andmaintenance of the Aerospace Structural Metals Handbook (ASMH)and the Structural Alloys Handbook (SAH) were continued.Fifty-eight new ASMH's and 37 SAH's were sold this year; 637and 107 update subscriptions were sold for the ASMH and SAH,respectively.
Current Awareness and Promotion. Publication of the CurrentAwareness Bulletin (CAB) on a monthly basis has continued. Thelast of the two issues prepared in this quarter was distributedto 4,240 recipients. Marketing and promotion resulted in thesale of 1,118 items in this fiscal year.
Financial Status. The following is a summary of the financialstatus of the program:
Sales of Productsand Services 79,906 749,870 11,348,633
Special Tasks and Studies. During the course of this contractperiod (15 June 1983 through 30 August 1990), 64 Special Taskshave been undertaken. Of these, 55 have been completed; 9 areon-going. Total Special Task funding is $9,638,633, of which$9,394,742 are MIPR'd funds and $243,851 are Special Taskincome. The special tasks will be completed by 31 January1991.
IACQUISITION AND INPUT OF SOURCE INFORMATION
l (Helen Pestel, Manager)
The information base maintained by MCIC provided technicaldc:umentation needed by staff scientists and engineers to compile thevarious products of the Center and provided a rapid, inexpensiveretrieval mechanism to support the Center's technical inquiry serviceand special studies. Over 67,000 records of documents in the informa-tion base were directly available for searching by users of DROLS. Thetotal database contained over 140,000 documents collected and reviewedsince 1955 under MCIC and its predecessors.
* The objective of this task was to acquire and input thetechnical data and information necessary for the support of the variousproducts and services of the Center. The activities conducted to attain
* this objective included:
" Identifying, screening, and acquiring reports, articles, and* other literature and/or data within the scope of this Center.
* Accessing, abstracting, and indexing of all pertinent materialfor computer storage.
I * Maintaining the MCIC bibliographic database on DROLS.
I
I
I4IAcquisition of Information
As part of the identification effort, MCIC monitored newcontract awards in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD). A questionnaireconcerning the program scope was sent to both the Contractor and theSponsor identified in the CBD. This questionnaire also requested thatMCIC be placed on the distribution list for any reports generated on thespecific contract. Information about MCIC and the Current AwarenessBulletin (CAB) was offered. Approximately 25 percent of the contractorscontacted responded to this questionnaire.
I Identification and acquisition of pertinent technicalliterature was aggressively pursued by the MCIC staff. The primarysources of reports generated by DoD and other Government agencies werethe contractors or agencies that produced the reports. Receivingreports on direct distribution avoided time delays in receipt of thisinformation from secondary sources and allowed the Center access tointerim progress reports not distributed to secondary sources.
Unfortunately, more recently Government Agencies were not addingInformation Analysis Centers to report distribution lists as readily asin previous years.
Pertinent reports not received on direct distribution wereidentified and ordered from Government abstracting services includingDTIC's Current Awareness BuZZetin, NTIS's Government Report Abstractsand Index (GRAI), NASA's Scientific and TechnicaZ Aerospace Reports
(STAR), and DOE's Energy Research Abstracts (ERA).
Journal articles and technical papers were selected by dailyscreening of material entering the Battelle Library. This source wassuppleme,,Lad by subsciibing to key journals and ordering of individualtechnical papers. Metals Abstracts was searched for foreign technologycoverage to supplement the Library holdings.
I During FY-1990, the sixth fiscal year (10.5 months of effort)of the current MCIC contract, 2,602 documents were acquired and reviewedfor input into the MCIC database (331 during the first half of thefourth quarter). Of these, 172 documents (16 in the fourth quarter)were rejected because they were not considered relevant to the MCICscope or because they duplicated information presently in the informa-I tion base.
The acquisition and input of source information was at aslightly lower rate in FY-1990 than FY-1989 due to the expiration of thecontract on 15 August 1990.
The type and number of documents accessioned by MCIC for thedatabase in FY-1990 are shown in Table 1. Included are journal arti-cles, government reports, conference papers, and miscellaneous sourcessuch as books, trade literature, and internal papers.I

Documents related to metals and metallurgy represent 72.5percent (75 percent in the fourth quarter) of the FY-1990 input, andceramics (including ceramic matrix composites) represent 27.5 percent(25 percent in the fourth quarter) of the input.
Foreign Technology
About 55 percent of the documents entering the MCIC file wereauthored by foreign organizations. During the fourth quarter the per-centage of input related to foreign technology was 30 percent.
Beginning with the May, 1985 CAB, the foreign-authoreddocuments entering the MCIC database for the quarter were categorized byarea of the world and by subject area.
The 43 countries* authoring MCIC database input for FY-1990 andthe number of articles contributed per quarter were as follows:
Qtr. 4 Annual TotalCountry qtr. 1 Qtr. 2 qtr. 3 Number Percent Number Percent Rank
. The Country of origin was determined by the affiliation of the first author when the
experimentation was completed.

DROLS Input
A total of 2,015 of the 2,430 documents accessioned this contractyear were processed into the MCIC dedicated database at DTIC (DROLS),253 of the 315 in the fourth quarter; the remaining 415 documents (62 inthe fourth quarter) were already in the DTIC collection. The DTICrecords for these references were supplemented with the MCIC accession1 number and enriched indexing.
The number of records in the MCIC database on DROLS is approxi-mated as of the loading of Cycle 90-20, which was loaded after the closeof the MCIC contract on 15 August 1990. The total file size should be67,406 records with 48,443 of these unique to the MCIC program and18,963 MCIC-modified DTIC holdings. This number could not be verifiedbecause MCIC lost access to DROLS on 15 August i990.
On-Line Usage of the MCIC Database
The MCIC database was open to all DROLS users since 1980.Surprisingly few problems regarding the use of the database were broughtto the attention of the MCIC staff from 1980 to the present. During thepast year the MCIC input staff had instructed several new DROLS users inthe procedures for accessing the Information Analysis Center files. TheMCIC database staff has been represented at the Annual DROLS User'smeeting and the regional user meeting to assist users of the MCIC andother IAC databases.
Table 2 summarizes the use of the MCIC database by type oforganization for unique MCIC records displayed or ordered from the DROLSsites for FY-1990. The number of users retrieving records from the MCICdatabase in FY-1990 was slightly less than in FY-1989. For the firstten months of FY-1990, 32,934 records from the MCIC database were usedby an average of 162 DROLS users per month (other than MCIC). OnlyJuly's statistics on DROLs use for the fourth quarter were available forincorporation in this final report.
Concerns and Problems - Information Operations
The backlog of documents in process was eliminated before thetermination of this contract. At that time, many records were in theMCIC temporary storage file on DROLS awaiting up-dating of the TechnicalReports Database. Because our user access to DROLs ended, correctionsto these records after DROLS up-dating could not be made. About 50records needing corrections will be transferred to the follow-oncontractor for implementation.
The backlog of documents awaiting acceptance as input for thedatabase has grown steadily during the contract due to fundinglimitations. The backlog in the form of documents and references topertinent documents will be transferred to the new contractor.

I 9During this contract two improvements to the database were initiated orcontinued. Prior to 1986, only about 10-15 percent of the unique MCICrecords in DROLS were date searchable and sortable. At the present timeall MCIC records from 1979 to the present are date searchable andsortable. It is estimated that prior to 1979 about 10,000 of the 48,443unique records are yet to be dated in field 11 to become searchable and
sortable by date. Also during this contract the correction of ambiguousand miskeyed index terms in the MCIC vocabulary was continued from theprevious contract. Even though this activity was at an extremely lowrate of effort to conserve project funds, the vocabulary was reduced by30 percent during the contract. This effort was to be aided by DROLsduring FY-90 with the programming change to permit global editing.This global editing feature, requested by the IACs since the early1980s, was not available as of 15 August 1990.
Table 3 summarizes the acquisition and input of source information, anduse of the MCIC database on DROLs for the contract period 15 June 1983to 15 August 1990.
TECHNICAL AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC INQUIRY SERVICES(John B. Hallowell, Manager)
An inquiry service (designed primarily for use by the Departmentof Defense, its agencies and subcontractors) was provided by MCIC formany years. In accordance with the requirements of an InformationAnalysis Center (IAC), a rapid-response service was possible through theavailability of a select group of skilled scientists and specialists atBattelle. By placing the inquirer in direct contact with an appropriatetechnical authority, answers were provided to the degree of depth re-quired. Answers were executed through the use of telephone discussions,on-line computer printouts, letter reports, onsite visits, and MCIC-pub-lished reports and handouts. Battelle technical specialists provided aunique capability to respond directly to inquiries or provide assistanceto formulate search strategies for the retrieval of pertinent technicaldocuments.
Starting in October 1984, the Inquiry Services records werecomputerized. The documentation, easily accessed, was utilized togenerate the various tables (appendices) for the Quarterly reports.
During the last reporting period (July I through 15 August 90),32 inquiries were processed; eight weie bibliographic and 24 weretechnical. Appendix A is a Summary of the inquiries and responses forthis shortened period. Five inquiries were not completed due to the endof the MCIC Contracts. Two inquiries were paid; the no-charge inquiriesare listed in Appendix B. One foreign inquiry (No. 5099) was completed.
For this reporting period, the 32 inquiries can be categorized asfollows:

Thirteen (41 percent) were for DoD-related programs. One of thepaid inquiries was charged directly to a Battelle account; the other wasinvoiced. The total charged for this period was $305; actual income forthe same period was $468.
Battelle personnel directly involved in responses for this periodare listed, by specialty, in Appendix C.
For the entire contract period, 15 May 83 to 15 Aug 90, 2,302inquiries (747 bibliographic and 1,555 technical) were processed. Forthe period 1 Oct 84 through the end of the contract, 1,818 inquiries(601 bibliographic and 1,216 technical) were entered into the databaseproviding accurate statistics for this period.
1,394 individuals from 1,004 organizations requested assistancein those 1,818 inquiries. 826 inquiries (45.5 percent) were related toDoD programs. Further statistics for both technical and bibliographicinquiry services are present in Table 4.
TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS(John B. Hallowell, Manager)
One important activity of this program was information andtechnology transfer on advances in materials that were within MCIC'sscope and related to applications in defense systems and hardware. Inresponse to needs of Government, particularly DoD, as well as industrialand academic communities, a variety of publications were prepared by theCenter. The archival documents included handbooks/databooks, technicalreports (state-of-the-art reports, proceedings of conferences, andcritical reviews or technology assessments), and comprehensive listingsof available literature as related to identifiable areas of interest.These products were sold throughout the course of the contract. Alisting of the reports and handbooks being sold at the end of the coreoperation is given in the brochure included on the inside, back cover ofthis report.
At the conclusion of the contract, MCIC was contractuallyresponsible for only the maintenance and publication of the followinghandbooks:
9 Structural Alloys Handbook (SAH). Three-volume set withsemi-annual updating.
Since the initiation (in 1972) of the practice of charging fordocuments, 79 documents were generated. Of those, 68 were carried asavailable publications through the final contract period.
The sale of documents was conducted by MCIC and through marketingagreements with nine organizations:
NTIS (worldwide)American Ceramic SocietyMetal Powder Industries Federation (U.S. Only)Neutrino/MRI (Japan)Allied Publishers Private, Ltd. (India)Aluminium Verlag GmBH (West Germany)Information Handling Services (Worldwide)American Institute of Aeronautics and AstronauticsBattelle Press
Several of these organizations were interested in only the ASMH and SAHor other specific documents.
Purchasers of documents classified as containing criticaltechnology information or data were required to file a DD Form 2345 withthe Defense Logistics Services Center in Battle Creek, Michigan.Export-controlled reports were sold only after the customer wasregistered by the Center and a copy of the approved form had beenreceived by MCIC.
Also, all of MCIC's publications were available on 16-mm filmthrough a service offered by Information Handling Services. MCICreceived royalties on the rental of these films. MCIC documents on filmwere subjected to the same distribution restrictions as the original
* publications.
Documents subject to export controls were handled only by MCIC andInformation Handling Services. (IHS is aware of limited distribution
* and export control requirements.)
FY1990
A summary of publications produced during FY 1990 is given inTable 5. Six supplements to the ASMH were issued to cover the secondhalf of calendar year (CY) 1989 and all of CY 1990. Two supplements tothe Structural Alloys Handbook (SAH) were issued for the second half ofCY 1988 and all of CY 1989. The 1989 SAH supplement was an extensivecoverage of the 2-1/4-Cr-I Mo type of steels and was also sold as aseparate publication. In view of the incremental time extensions at theend of the contract, combined with the time required for preparation ofsupplements, no SAH supplements were issued for CY 1990.

The revision of MCIC HB-09, International Handbook of AlloyCompositions and Designations - Volume 1, Titanium was completed inAugust, 1990, and sales initiated as soon as the document was available.
With the approval of the Contracting Agency, sales of MCICpublications were continued through 30 September, hence, the reportedsales figures for the first quarter are reported only through 15 Aug 90.
Appendix E presents a detailed list of the various documents sold duringFY-1990.
Contract Period
MCIC publications during the contract period are listed inTable 6. These documents were generated within the contract, underspecial tasks, or acquired from other contracts and published andmarketed by MCIC.
The supplements to the Aerospace Structural Metals Handbook andthe Structural Alloys Handbook generated during the contract period arelisted in Table 7. These included 30 quarterly supplements to the ASMHcovering 43 alloys and amounting to 1,419 pages of compiled information,and semi-annual supplements to the SAH covering both specific alloys andclasses of related alloys in a total of 593 pages of technical data andmaterials selection guides.
* A summary of the total numbers of technical publications soldduring the contract period is given in Table 8, by type of publicationand time period. Sales of handbooks (including the ASMH and SAH),reports, and special documents amounted to over 6,500 items. Thenumbers listed for sales of supplements to the ASMH and SAH aresubscriptions for yearly services, and total slightly over 6,300

CURRENT AWARENESS(Gerald 0. Davis, Editor)
The monthly MCIC Current Awareness Bulletin (CAB) was designed tofulfill the MCIC contract requirement to keep its users aware ofimportant current technical developments within the Center's materials,Iproperties, and processes scope. Over the course of this contract manyscientists and engineers at Battelle with special expertise in variousmaterials fields presented special articles covering the pertinentliterature and technical meetings or the state of the art of technicalsubjects of particular interest to the DoD materials community.Contributors to the CAB during this reporting period are shown in
i Appendix C.
One issue of the CAB was prepared during the final quarter of FY-1990. Critical reviews of 11 published references were prepared.
The CAB was provided upon written request without charge to U.S.-based users of the Center. The distribution at the end of the contractwas to 4,240 subscribers, categorized as follows:
Industrial 2,956Foreign (TTCP, Canada) 5DoD 558Other Government 258Academic 463

Financial Summary
Tables 9, 10, and 11 give the Financial Statistics for thecurrent quarter, fiscal year, and the cumulative contract period through30 August 1990 respectively. The tables are generated in compliancewith Form 388. Because the contract was completed on 15 August 1990,the final financial status reports will be submitted upon the completion
* of all special tasks.
Tables 12, 13, and 14 illustrate the funding and expendituresummaries as follows:
Table 12 - Program Funding and Income Summary. The details forboth core and special task funding are presented bymonth, current quarter, current fiscal year, and totalcontract period. Cumulative and authorized contractfunding are compared.
Table 13 - Program Expenditure and Billing Summary. Net Billamounts, dates of submission, and payment of invoicesare shown for items that fall within the current
* quarter and other pertinent time periods.
Table 14 - Fiscal Report. Income and expenditures for thecurrent quarter and cumulative contract period arepresented. Expenditures include the fixed feeprorated to the Baseline and Special Task net
expenditures. (Appendix E contains the breakdown forJuly and August.)
The funding is also shown in Figure 1 as a function of the month inwhich it was received. The actual expenditures are also summarized inTable 15. The professional and non-professional core hours are alsoshown in this table. The last column (Core Expenditures divided byTotal Dollars) also reflects the effects of increasing the professionalhours and inflation. This last column is directly related to thediminution of services that must occur with level funding.
Travel
The following core and special task travel was undertaken asrequired during this quarter. Travel on the core funding was reduced toa minimum to conserve project funds. When possible, trips werecoordinated with other Battelle travel to minimize project costs.

SPECIAL TASKS AND STUDIES
These special tasks or studies, undertaken as a function of afull-service Information Analysis Center, are within the Center's scopeand utilize the applicable Battelle/MCIC resources to provide a rapidresponse to the technical requirements of the client. Under the manage-ment of MCIC, these tasks are assigned to researchers and scientistswithin Battelle who can best respond to the needs of the agencyrequesting our assistance. When required or requested by the client orwhen it appears more cost effective to go directly to data sources,outside consultants or services may be used.
The special tasks are continuing through January 1991 in order torespond to the requirements of the task Sponsors. A complete specialtask report will be submitted at that time.
PROFESSIONAL STAFF
The key contributors to the operation of MCIC are too numerous tolist for the entire contract period; the contributors for the lastquarter are listed in Appendix C. During any reporting periodindividual contributions by other Battelle technical staff varied fromthe time required to answer an inquiry to the time required to write atechnical report. The "full-service" feature of an IAC was representedby the breadth and depth of Battelle's support staff.
Key personnel who contributed to the Center core operations were:
Harold Mindlin, Program Manager and Special Task Manager
John B. Hallowell, Manager Publications and Promotion,Technical Inquiries
Gerald 0. Davis, Editor, CAB
Helen Pestel, Manager, Information Services
Irene Russell and Paula Minerd, Publications Handlingand Mailing, Non-Technical Inquiries, Administration

THE HISTORY OF THEMETALS AND CERAMICSINFORMATION CENTER
The Metals and Ceramics Information Center and its predecessors havebeen in continuous operation at Battelle since 1955. At that time the TitaniumMetallurgy Laboratory was established at Battelle for the Department ofDefense (DoD) to gather the results of current titanium research into oneanalysis center. Three years later, that program was expanded in scopeto include other metals used in critical DoD applications. This was reflectedin its new name-the Defense Metals Information Center (DMIC).
Based on the DMIC example, the Ceramics and Graphite Technical Evalu-ation Center was established at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in the early1960s. After being chartered as a DoD Information Analysis Center theirprogram was assigned to Battelle in 1967 for operation as the DefenseCeramics Information Center (DCIC).
In 1971, DMIC and DCIC were merged to form the Metals and CeramicsInformation Center. This new Center-MCIC-now covered both metalsand ceramics of interest to DoD and its related industrial and academiccommunities.
The technical management of the Center is assigned to the Office of theUnder Secretary of Defense, Research and Advanced Technology; con-tract administration is performed by the Defense Logistics Agency.
With a bibliographic database of over 135,000 documents and the resourcesavailable at Battelle, MCIC now provides in-depth responses to technicalinquiries, and also, the products and services described herein as requiredof a full-service Information Analysis Center.
