I've assembled a list of technical report contacts for a number of sites on 
the Arpanet.  The list was distributed on Human-nets and AIList several 
months ago, but I've added a few sites since then.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of people who can be contacted at various sites
on the net for ordering technical reports.  I've tried to determine who
is the site contact, whether they have an on line bibliography, if they
have a mailing list for notification of new TR's, and if the TR's themselves 
are available on line.  If anyone knows of this information for any sites I 
haven't mentioned, please send me a message and I will post a followup to the
net.  Note that the mailing lists mentioned are U.S. mail, not electronic!  
Online bibliographies at the various sites may be FTP'd by logging in with 
id: ANONYMOUS and password GUEST (this only applies if you are on the ARPANET)


Yale:     Donna Mauri (MAURI@YALE) is the contact person for AI or cognitive
          science reports.  There is no online list of those reports, but she
          can send a hard copy list.  For non-AI/cognitive science reports
          the contact person is Kim Washington (WASHINGTON@YALE).


CMU:      No online list, however they do have a mailing list for
          notification of recent TR's.  TR's can be ordered over the net.
          The contact person is Sylvia Berry (BERRY@CMUA).  


MIT:      There is an online list, but the publications office is undergoing 
          a restructuring, so it isn't available at the moment.  A contact
          for ordering the TR's will be established at some future time.


SRI:      No online list of just the report names, but there is a list of 
          the reports plus abstracts.  Tonita Walker (TWalker@SRI-AI) is 
          the contact person.  Many of the reports are available for FTPing.


UMASS:    Department of Computer and Information Science (COINS), University 
          of Massachusetts, Amherst.  A list of COINS technical reports,
          copies of specific TR's, or additions to a mailing list for 
          notification of new TR's can be requested by sending mail to 
          TECHREPT%UMASS-CS.CSNET@CSNET-RELAY

WEIZMANN: A list of the technical reports from the Wiezmann
          Institute is under {SCORE}<PROLOG>WIEZMANN_ABSTRACTS.DOC


OHIO:     A list of the reports from Ohio State will eventually be
          set up at SUMEX.   The reports may be ordered via US Mail
          by contacting Ms. Chris Putnam, Dept. of Computer and
          Information Science, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
          43210.  

PURDUE:   There is no online bibliography and there is a charge for
          the reports.  Queries about availability and price may be
          directed to Dr. William Schalliol (schallio@purdue-asc).
          

UTEXAS:   A list of current reports is in {UTEXAS}<cs.tech>TRLIST.  A
          master list of reports still in print is under MASTER.TR.  Many
          of the current reports themselves are also available in the 
          above directory, but they contain text formatting commands.
          The directory contains a file READ.ME which tells which text
          formatter was used for which reports (SCRIBE vs. NROFF).  
          Reports may be ordered by sending mail to CS.TECH@UTEXAS-20.


UCLA:     No reports or list online, but you can contact Brenda Ramsey
          RAMSEY@UCLA-LOCUS to obtain information on price and availability.
          The reports must be prepaid.  Ms. Ramsey can also be contacted
          by phone at 213-825-2778.


BBN:      No reports or list online (no list even in hard copy).  Contact 
          author directly about getting a copy of the TR.

          copy of the bibliography is not available at the moment, but

          (PETTY@RUTGERS) to obtain reports.  They maintain a mailing
          list to distribute notices of the TR's and the abstracts.  
          The abstracts of recent reports are online and under: 
          {RUTGERS}<library>tecrpts-online.doc.


Louisiana: Technical reports from Louisiana State University can be
           requested from Duncan Buell (BUELL%LSU.CSNET@CSNET-RELAY).
           A biblography is online and can be sent via electronic mail.

Stanford: Stanford reports are issued by four sources: the HPP (Heuristic
          Programming Project), the AI lab, the Center for the Study of
          Language and Information (CSLI), and the Computer Science 
          Department.  HPP reports are available without charge by contacting
          Paula Edmisten (EDMISTEN@SUMEX).  Please be reasonable with your
          requests; no more than 15 at a time! There is no online bibliography
          available, but a hard copy may be requested.  There is an online 
          bibliograpy of AI lab reports in AIMLST in [BIB,DOC]@SU-AI.  Some 
          of the reports are available online and are so indicated in the 
          bibliography.  Reports from CSLI may be requested from Dikran
          Karagueuzian (DIKRAN@SU-CSLI).  A bibliography of the reports
          is stored under {SU-CSLI}<CSLI>CATALOG.REPORTS.  CSLI will also
          be issuing lecture notes, and a bibliography of these will be under
          {SU-CSLI}<CSLI>CATALOG.LECTURE-NOTES.  The reports are
          available without charge, but there is a charge for the lecture
          notes.  There is also a charge for reports published by either
          the AI lab or the Computer Science Department, but queries as 
          to cost and/or availablity may be sent to Kathy Berg (BERG@SU-SCORE)
          A bibliography of CSD reports from 1963 to 1984 is available for 
          $5.00.  The department maintains a mailing list for notification
          of new TR's.  You can be added to it by contacting Kathy Berg.
          Updates are sent out about five or six times per year.
