Electronic Environmental Resources Library (eERL) – Environmental and Energy Resources Library
http://www.eerl.org/

The Electronic Environmental Resources Library (eERL), an Advanced Technology Environmental Education Center (ATEEC) project, is a multi-faceted clearing house of valuable electronic resources. eERL is supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. The second goal in the NSF 2007 Resource Center Grant commissions ATEEC to expand the web-based eERL digital library to include sustainable energy technology resources and expand the user base. ATEEC joined forces with the Davenport Public Library (DPL), collaborated with the Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE), and MIT’s Laboratory for Energy and the Environment (LFEE). Eastern Iowa Community College District (EICCD), DPL, and private librarians bring the skills to catalogue the resources recommended by PETE and LFEE and reviewed / vetted by eERL’s handpicked team of environmental and energy educators and practitioners. This electronic library collects STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) resources tied to environmental science and technology resource information- from classroom-ready materials to regulatory information and global environmental issues. Some of the areas include: air quality, emergency preparedness and response, energy, natural resources management, safety and health, and sustainability. Vocational areas are covered also, from agriculture, automotive, and green building to manufacturing technology. eERL’s team of expert community college educators and practitioners evaluate and recommend valid, up-to-date content. eERL’s carefully chosen resources are incorporated into NSDL’s database regularly, offering another way to access eERL and many other NSDL libraries.
