With a quick online search, you can discover the answers to all kinds of questions. Findability within large volumes of information and data has become almost as important as the answers themselves. Without being able to search various types of media ranging from print reports to video, efforts are duplicated and productivity and effectiveness suffer.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 279: Information Findability Implementation Pilots at State Transportation Agencies presents the results of pilot applications of findability techniques at the Washington State Department of Transportation, the Utah Department of Transportation, and the Iowa Department of Transportation.

The document is supplemental to NCHRP Research Report 947: Implementing Information Findability Improvements in State Transportation Agencies and three videos on the Washington State DOT Manual Modernization Pilot. .
