Scope of Collection Formats Print and non-print, the Packaging Science reading room has a large collection of video tapes. Cooper's collection will be primarily print and electronic material. Transportation of products and environmental issues are also important subject areas within the packaging industry. An effort has been made to be inclusive of major areas but some classifications for this subject area may be omitted by oversight. Not On-Site Interlibrary Loan Information Material not owned by the Clemson University Libraries may be obtained from other libraries through Interlibrary Loans.
Many electronic sources are available for access to information.
See current bibliographies for packaging science for those sources that are currently available. There are only four schools that have a Packaging Science program for a bachelor or higher degree. Library resources will be compared with the other three schools that have a Packaging Science degree. A profile of specific subject areas heavily used are given instead of providing total circulation statistics for the classifications covering packaging. The collection is also strong in areas of the materials that may be used for packaging such as forest products and plastics.
