               In 2016, there are 29 member organizations with a common goal in their activities. Bureau of Science and Technology Information (BSTI), Department of Science Service, Ministry of Science and Technology serves as a center coordinator between STINC members. STINC members are from various libraries, academic organizations, leading university, information centers and knowledge centers and non-profit organizations

 The STINC Network 

 Objectives of the STINC Network 

• To provide science, technology and innovation information, make it convenient and quickly access to all the target user needs.
• To provide information for active use, most worthwhile and save the country's budget.
• To share information resources between STINC network.
• To promote the preserving scarce resources of the STINC network.

 Hi-Light Event 

1986-2011

                In the early stage, the STINC Network focused on developing information resources, linking knowledge and services between members such as knowledge dissemination, and providing science and technology information accessing under the Thai Science and Technology Journal Indexing Database project. In this project, the Micro CDS / ISIS program was supported from the United Nations Educational and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). A standardized cataloging mechanism, called MOATE-MARC (Ministry of Science Technology and Energy MARC) was also developed to store and exchange information between each library system. And can share information under the same standard. The database was available for 18 network members through the internet network. The information dissemination and access science and technology information technique were also providing for people in rural areas in order to increase the community income.
