Much has been heard in recent years about the neglect and consequent deterioration of the nation's public
infrastructure--the publicly financed structures and facilities that support essential functions such as
transportation (land, water, and air), water supply and water and wastewater treatment, and waste disposal. This
guide furnishes a review of the literature in the collections of the Library of Congress that deals with public
infrastructure, its history and development and proposals for its maintenance and improvement, including
transfer of some facilities to the private sector. Not intended as a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is
designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
