The Defence Research Information Centre: services and new developments
Abstract
The Defence Research Information Centre, or DRIC as it is commonly known, is the MOD's central deposit and dissemination point for defence scientific and technical literature to the UK and overseas Defence Community. In March 1986 it moved from St Mary Cray to central Glasgow, where it is now located along with a number of other MOD branches in a modern office block. It was formed in October 1971 by the merger of the defence component of the Technology Reports Centre (TRC) with the Naval Scientific and Technical Information Centre (NSTIC). DRIC is part of the Procurement Executive of the Ministry of Defence. In order to discharge its remit DRIC is organised into 2 groups. Mr M.R.C. Wilkinson is the head of DRIC—he reports to the Director Establishments and Research (B)—DER(B) who in turn reports to Deputy Controller Research [DC(R)]
