A brief description of the institution’s library support for sustainability research:
The McDermott Library provides exceptional resources in sustainability research and learning collectively called "green" libraries. Green libraries emphasize stewardship of resources, impact on the natural environment, economy, ecology, and equity. Economy is the management, or stewardship, of the resources; Ecology is the relationship of the community with its environment, particularly the natural environment; and Equity is fairness to all.
The Sustainability Reference Center collection offers full-text coverage of content relevant to sustainability initiative management. It is designed for sustainability experts and information professionals and covers topics such as corporate social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and governmental regulations.
