Mary Galbraith Publications, forms go totally electronic by Carolyn Wat kins Air Force Departmental Publishing ' Office ANACOSTIA NAVAL AIR STAUsers of TION, D.C. (AFPN) will and forms soon publications be able to directly access them from the Air Force publications web site. The initial Electronic Transaction System will replace the publications distribution system in October, when the major command and base publications distribution offices and centers close. Seen as the future of Air Force information management, it was proposed as a productivity investment fund, or PIF, project in October 1995. When delivered, initial ETS will leverage existing technologies to maximize electronic access to publications and forms When ETS is delivered, users who once received publishing products from PDO's and PDC's will directly access them from a central web site managed by the Air Force Departmental Publishing Office. This web site will allow users to access, view, download, print and order products. Those who do not have Internet access will contact the ETS order desk to get the prod- ucts they need. The goal of ETS is to make Air Force departmental, MAJCOM, and base level products accessible to warfighters, around the clock. Users will be able to access products regardless of whether they are connected to the Internet while deployed or users can look for products from the web site through structured and unstructured searches. In structured searches, users will define parameters of the document they want using a menu. If a user is searching for an Air Force Internet-connecte- d 33-seri- es publication, he or she will type those descriptors into the web site's menu. The search engine will retrieve titles and links to publications conforming to those characteristics. Users can also type key words from the publication's text The unstructured search engine will review all the publications in the web site's electronic library and retrieve the titles and links to publications where the key words occur. When users require hard copy versions of electronic products, they will be able to print them from their workstation. If users require bulk quantities of electronic products, they will send a request along with an IMPAC card number or fund cite, to the Defense Automated Printing Service using the DAPS icon on the ETS web page. DAPS will commit the document to paper or compact disk, forward it to the requestor, and charge for the ser vice and materials provided. There will still be a need for some physical products, such as publications and forms that are classified, accountable, and controlled. The unclassified titles ofthese products will be included in the ETS web site index, but the documents will not. To access physical products, the user will get ETS is an improvement to the current publications and forms distribution process, but it is not the final answer. Plans are to augment pre-approv- al. ETS with more functionality to optimize the products and services provided to users. In the corning year, efforts will concentrate on integrating the capability to electronically asseminate classified information from the web site.
