The Digital Library also contains a sample of descriptive records for masters and doctoral theses from the Rutgers University Libraries collections. The Digital Library will provide, whenever possible, full-text access to environmental reports, data, and multimedia. When appropriate, we will provide links and pointers to items residing on other servers. Our records that include standard library call numbers for theses in the Rutgers University Libraries collections. However, at this time, the inventory is incomplete.
Availability is according to normal library access policy .
Working primarily with reports contributed to the project by NJ DEP, we have created hundreds of metadata records and linked them to digital documents. The ultimate usefulness and success of the project, however, requires that experts and users engage in the collection development activities of the project. With the participation of state agencies, NGOs and NPOs, and academic researchers, we expect the collection to quickly expand in number and in scope, enhancing its value as a research tool, and facilitating user participation in environmental decision making. Many thanks are due to the a number of organizations and individuals for providing support, financial and otherwise, without which this project would not be possible.
