**SCOPE**
Wind power or wind energy is the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity and is one of the fastest-growing forms of electricity generation in the world.  An update of TB 81-5, this guide is a review of the literature in the Library’s collections on wind power with an emphasis on recent material.  Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the readers “on target
