  1. The Department of Energy Geothermal Legacy Reports Collection Dan Entingh, PERI, and Lynn Davis, DOE United States Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information

  2. Introduction • $1.5 billion DOE Geothermal R&D since 1978 • Results and history of the research have become cloudy • New research proposals for “same” R&D • PERI resolution: avoid duplication

  3. Two Surveys Initial Survey (2002) 2 geothermal bibliographic databases online: • Geothermal Resources Council (GRC) • DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI)

  4. Surveys (cont’d.) Follow Up (2003-2004) Main issues: • Which reports? • Archive where? • What document format?

  5. Progress in 2005 • OSTI scanned about 3,200 DOE-funded reports from the unclassified vault • PERI identified DOE geothermal reports not at OSTI and shipped them to OSTI for scanning • Reports tagged with and searchable by the keyword ‘Geothermal Legacy’

  6. Work in 2006 • GTP, OSTI, and PERI seek missing reports • Potential sources include: • National Laboratories • Scientists and Engineers • Organizations or individuals

  7. Eureka! • 15,000-plus searchable items in this 1970’s-forward collection • Of the 15,000+, more than 6,000 are “Geothermal Legacy”reports • The collection is growing with your help
