 The NRC-Adams Licensing Support Network Library how-to video series introduction. Welcome to the NRC's how-to video series on using the Licensing Support Network Library, called the LSN Library. The library is affiliated with the agency's ADAM's official record keeping system. Available to the public, it has nearly 3.7 million documents related to the Department of Energy's application to construct a high-level nuclear waste geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The LSN Library is significant for three reasons. First, it meets federal records requirements and the NRC's commitment to being an open and transparent regulator. Second, shouldn't adjudicatory hearing resume on Yucca Mountain, it could provide public access to previously disclosed discovery materials. Third, if the hearing doesn't resume, the library will provide an important source of technical information for any future high-level waste proceeding. The LSN Library is powered by IBM's advanced Watson-based search engine, a one-stop search capability for technical information. You can access the LSN Library webpage through the NRC's website at www.nrc.gov. Hover your mouse over the NRC Library tab in the upper right corner of the screen. When the drop-down screen displays, click on LSN Library. This will take you to the LSN Library's main page, which contains informational and instructional aids on the LSN Library. You can begin your search by clicking on the Begin LSN Library Search link. An LSN Library announcement page will appear. This page will contain messages about training opportunities, system maintenance activities, and other general information. Click the Continue to LSN Library button to access the Library search page. There are three functional areas on the LSN Library page that help you search for records, refine a search, and work with your results. The top search bar allows you to enter basic and advanced search criteria to locate records of interest. You will always start a search here. To refine your search, there are three outside sections called the facet tree, the time series chart, and the facet chart, where you can limit a search by specific categories, including authors, organizations, and date ranges. The center section displays your results and provides options for viewing, saving, and printing them. The NRC has developed a series of brief tutorial videos about how to work in each of these three areas. These videos can be watched on the NRC YouTube channel or through the LSN Library web page.
