    Partnership


    OSTI works to ensure that:
    • DOE-supported research results are shared globally     plus
    • DOE-supported researchers have access to scientific discoveries from around the world

    You, the National Laboratory Libraries are the strategic partners in making sure this research is shared across the DOE Laboratory Complex and that researchers are in the know.
