These resources need to be made available through the individual AFRL libraries' websites or intranet sites via the EZproxy authentication service, as well as, provide their own interface that can be accessed through an independent website. This resource needs to allow material to be be downloaded to provide offline access in situations with low or no internet access. The database(s) must include content from the following subject areas: advanced and emerging technologies, aerospace engineering, agricultural science, aquatic science, atmospheric science, biological science, computer science, earth science, environmental science, general engineering, materials science, and polymer science.
