Refreshed National Library of Energy(Beta) Takes on Expanded Role in Disseminating Department of Energy Scientific and Technical Informationby Lynn Davis 29 May, 2014 in
Developed by DOE’s Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), the NLEBeta search tool makes it easy for American citizens to find and access information about the Department from across the DOE complex nationwide, without knowing DOE’s organizational structure. The NLEBeta integrates and makes searchable disparate and decentralized information collections across DOE. Users can search hundreds of webpages and 18 databases – a total of 25 million pages – hosted by DOE (energy.gov); all DOE program offices; the National Nuclear Security Administration; the Energy Information Administration; all DOE staff offices; all DOE field/site offices; and all DOE National Laboratories and technology centers. DOE’s program offices include Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Environmental Management, Fossil Energy, Nuclear Energy, and Science. The NLEBeta makes it possible to search all this information via a single search box. Using federated search and indexing technology, the NLEBeta retrieves relevance-ranked individual site results with links to the sites or databases where the original content can be viewed. ...Related Topics: Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, DOE field offices, DOE staff offices, Energy Information Administration, federated search, national laboratories, National Library of Energy (NLE) - Beta, National Library of Energy (NLE) - Beta, National Nuclear Security Administration, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Environmental Management, Office of Fossil Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Science Read more... |
80 Years of Excellence in Scienceby Kate Bannan 01 Sep, 2011 in Science Communications
Congratulations to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory(Berkeley Lab) as they celebrated their 80th anniversary on August 26. Berkeley Lab is a member of the national laboratorysystem supported by the U.S. Department of Energythrough its Office of Science. Berkeley Lab is an incubator for ideas, innovations and products that help society and explain how the universe works; Their unclassified research portfolio includes renewable energy sources such as biofuels and artificial photosynthesis; energy efficiency at home, at work, and around the world; the ability to observe, probe, and assemble materials atom by atom; climate change research, environmental science and the growing connections between them; the chemistry and physics of matter and force in the universe — from the infinite to the infinitesimal; computational science and advanced networking to enable discovery and remote collaborations; and biological sciences for human health and energy research. Berkeley Lab is highly respected for bringing science solutions to the world. Lab employees have been recognized as leaders in their fields, including: · The Lab's scientific expertise has been recognized with 12 Nobel prizes · Fifty-seven Lab scientists are members of the National Academy of Sciences · Thirteen scientists have won the National Medal of Science · Eighteen of the laboratory’s engineers were elected to the National Academy of Engineering · Three of the Lab’s scientists were elected into the Institute of Medicine, and · Berkeley Lab has trained thousands of university science and engineering students who are advancing technological innovations across the nation and around the world Berkeley Lab was founded in 1931...
