The following document has been prepared for Yale
affiliated individuals studying or doing research in the area of environmental
studies. It is intended to provide our patrons with an overview of the types of
environmental materials collected at Yale in general, as well as a more
specific idea of where certain subjects are most likely to be located. What
follows is by necessity a simplification of the division of environmental
materials among the many Yale University Libraries, and it cannot completely
reflect the historical trends of that division, nor the most precise level of
detail.
Resources for Environmental Studies in the Yale Libraries β
ART AND ARCHITECTURE LIBRARY
History and Background:
The basis of the current collection was formed in 1943
when the separate libraries of the Schools of Art & Architecture were
joined and housed in what is now the Art Gallery Sculpture Hall. The library
became the primary location for material on art, architecture, city planning
and photography in 1963 when it moved into its present quarters in the Art
& Architecture Building.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The Art & Architecture Library collects material
relevant to environmental studies as it relates to architecture and city
planning. This includes the impact of buildings on the environment,
architectural restoration and rehabilitation, interior environment, building
materials, urban landscape and landscape architecture. Material about the toxic
effects of artistsβ and photographersβ materials and the precautions
required for their use is also actively collected.

ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE LIBRARY
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The Engineering and Applied Science Library has a small collection
of books on environmental engineering, focusing on air pollution, water control
and treatment, and hazardous waste. The EAS Library has up-to-date
environmental engineering handbooks, an encyclopedia on environmental control
technology and the Compendex CD-ROM database that provides references to
journal articles, conference papers and books on environmental engineering. A
Chemical Safety Shelf has been organized in the Reference Collection containing
materials such as Guide to Occupational Exposure Values , and Waste
Disposal in Academic Institutions . The Library also subscribes to one of
the important journals in this area, Environmental Science and Technology .
Exclusion of Subject Matter:
The Engineering Library has only a very small collection
of materials on civil engineering that relate to environmental technology since
there is not a civil engineering program at Yale.

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PUBLIC HEALTH LIBRARY
History and Background:
The Department of Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH) is
a department within the School of Medicine at Yale. EPH is also a separate
accredited graduate school of public health that offers masters and doctoral
degrees in public health. The school has seven divisions. The Division of
Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) curriculum is designed to train the student
to recognize and assess the impact of environmental health hazards on human health
and identify a range of options available to reduce exposures to those hazards.
Students are trained to develop the skills and experience to identify harmful
environmental factors, quantitate exposures and develop strategies to minimize
exposure and health outcomes.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
Physiology for EHS; chemical, physical and biological
factors in the environment; environmental epidemiology; assessment of exposures
to environmental contaminants; environmental health fundamentals; risk
assessment; environmental chemistry; environmental measurement; world
population and EHS issues; indoor pollution; accidents and injury control;
solid waste management; occupational health services; occupational medicine;
lung diseases and the environment; occupational safety and health; health
issues in the workplace; hazardous waste management; air pollution;
cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in the environment; environmental
toxicology
The EPH Library also collects materials from the following
organizations: World Health Organization materials related to the environment
and health; Pan American Health Organization materials; National Environmental
Health Association publications.
Exclusion of Authoring Agencies and Subject Matter:
EPH Library excludes materials from the U. S.
Environmental Protection; U. S. National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health; and acquires only limited publications from the United States
government.
Every effort is made to avoid duplication of clinical
medicine materials that are in the Medical Library, such as occupational
medicine, and subjects that deal with the diagnosis, surgery and treatment of
patients.
In addition, science materials in the pure science areas
such as chemistry, botany, biology, and forestry, materials on agriculture, and
ecology are also not collected.

FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES LIBRARY
History and Background:
The Library was begun by Henry S. Graves, the School's
first Dean, in 1900. Dean Graves purchased the initial collection of German
forestry books and remained dedicated to a strong library serving the School's
graduate forestry program. Continuity was provided by Frances Mary Bolton, who
served as Librarian from 1924 to 1966. The Library was administratively
incorporated into the University Library in 1956.
Forestry Library holdings consist of some 135,000 books,
documents, technical reports, and serial publications on the subjects of
forestry, forest science, natural resources management, and environmental
sciences and management. The library receives currently some 350 journals and
periodicals and more than 500 other serial publications.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The library is committed to acquiring a rigorously
defined teaching and research collection within the broad compass of
environmental and natural resources science and management.
Collection development is driven by the School's Master's
program. In practice, this means a collection that supports teaching--the
highest priority--provides regularly for new areas of interest, and contains
multiple copies of publications most in demand. The library acquires a
considerable number of gray-literature publications to document the practice of
forestry, natural resources management, and environmental protection.
The School's research programs have changed considerably
since 1972, when the School of Forestry became the School of Forestry and
Environmental Studies. The current direction of research has emerged from
faculty strategic planning discussions during 1992-1993. Six priority research
areas have been defined. These research areas and their related Advanced Study
Areas in the Master of Environmental Studies program will govern the library's
current and future collection development. The six areas are:
* Ecosystem structure, function, and dynamics
* Biological diversity
* Management of forest ecosystems
* Coastal and watershed systems
* Property, institutions and the environment
* Environmental valuation and decision-making
Historically the library has been strongest in forestry
and forest sciences. Holdings are exceptionally strong up to the 1960s for the
United States and foreign countries. For example, there is a nearly complete
set of U. S. Forest Service experiment station publications, which date from
the first station papers in the 1920s.
Forestry is a broad study area. Therefore, subjects like
forest ecology, tree physiology, wildlife ecology and management, ethnobotany,
land use, agricultural systems, wilderness management, park science,
biometeorology, and soils are well represented in the collection. So also are
the social, economic, and policy dimensions of forestry.
The library's strength in "environmental
studies" lies in subject areas close to forests and forestry, like soils
and terrestrial ecosystems. But publications on all "environmental"
topics are acquired, particularly socio-economic and policy aspects of the
environment, and environment in developing countries. But many if not most
environmental areas are thinly covered by a few key books and journals.
Exclusion of Subject Matter:
Within the forestry subject areas, little or nothing is
acquired on wood science and technology or on logging, lumber, and paper.
Foreign language books and journals are very selectively acquired.
As for environmental studies, the main object of
exclusion is to maintain focus and definition. Acquisitions of "environmental"
titles are made carefully, with due regard for the collecting missions of other
Yale libraries. For example, underlying biophysical sciences are left to Kline;
business and social science aspects to Social Science Library; global climate
change to Geology, and so on.

GEOLOGY LIBRARY
History and Background:
The history of teaching and research in the earth
sciences at Yale formally began in 1811 with the designation of Benjamin
Silliman as Professor of Chemistry, and, Mineralogy. The present Geology
Library contains extensive holdings not only in the fields of geology,
geochemistry, and geophysics, but also in the related fields of physical
geography, oceanography, meteorology, mineralogy, paleontology, paleobotany,
engineering geology, and hydrology which were drawn together in 1962-64 from a
number of departmental libraries and collections containing geology-related
materials. At that time and in later years, the geological and related
collections housed in the Sterling Memorial Library, the Peabody Museum
Library, and the Bingham Oceanographic Laboratory Library were incorporated
into the Geology Library. In addition to books and journals, the Geology
Library today is also rich in non-book materials, with a map collection of over
190,000 maps as well as microfiche, globes, and pamphlets.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The focus of the Geology Library is mainly on earth
sciences. Therefore, any environmental title with a basis in geology,
oceanography, or meteorology is considered for inclusion in the collection.
Areas of particular environmental strength are climatic change, paleoecology,
and paleoclimatology. Materials that are collected for their geological content
such as the United States Geological Survey publications also contain a great
deal of environmental information since the USGS began as land surveys of the
western United States in the 1800βs. In addition, the Geology Library
contains a collection of geologic cartographic materials, and many of the
topographic maps pinpoint historical environment changes. Geodesy is not a
major part of the collection but there are a few titles in this area that
include information on the environments of other planets.
Exclusion of Subject Matter:
The Geology Library makes an effort to exclude materials
on hydrology and soil science since these are topics covered by the Forestry
and Environmental Studies Library. In addition, petroleum exploration and mining
are two subjects collected at a minimal level.

GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS CENTER
History and Background:
The provenance of the Government Documents Center
collections is one of five governments and/or governmental bodies----United
States Federal (since 1859); United Nations (since 1945); Canadian Federal
(since 1961); European Community (from 1958); and the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The Center collects comprehensively in the area of public
policy and environmental laws and regulations. The collection also includes standards
and criteria for evaluating environmental quality; information relating to
handling of hazardous substances and toxic waste; health effects of various
substances; and statistical data on environmental quality. The Center's
collections include a variety of environmental impact statements from the U.S.
Forest Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Dept. of Interior
as well as information on national parks, national forests and archeological
sites.
Governmental units whose publications are heavily
represented in the Center's collections include the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S. National Park Service, the United States Senate
Committee on Environment and Public Works; the U.S. House Committee on Energy
and Commerce; the United Nations Environment Programme; Environment Canada;
Parks Canada; and the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Exclusion of Authoring Agencies:
Most publications from the U.S. Geological Survey and
some publications from the U.S. National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health are housed in the Geology and Epidemiology & Public Health or
Medical Libraries respectively.

KLINE SCIENCE LIBRARY
History and Background:
The Kline Science Library was opened in 1967 with
materials from the Biology and Physics Libraries, the Osborn Botanical and
Zoological Libraries, the Bingham Oceanographic Library, and some duplicate
materials from the Chemistry Library. In addition, the History of Science
branch library was reabsorbed in 1993.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The Library focuses on materials in biology, chemistry,
physics, and general science. Materials of ecological interest may appear in
any of these areas, such as evolutionary ecology, toxicological impact of
chemicals, electromagnetic radiation, and the scientific basis of environmental
policies. The Library is particularly strong in natural history. In addition an
historically strong exchange program has built a large collection of primary
materials of international significance.
In the Reference Collection of the Kline Science Library,
emphasis is placed on providing works with information that would be difficult
or time consuming to find or put together in other ways. Sources in
environmental science mostly fall into pure science areas: botany, ecology,
chemicals, climates, and includes specialized dictionaries, data handbooks,
statistical sources, guides and bibliographies to the literature, and
encyclopedic monographs. Some examples of these are Statistical Record of
the Environment, Dictionary of Natural Products, and Agrochemicals Desk
Reference - Environmental Data. A variety of specialized index/abstract sources
supporting environmental science is available including Pollution and
Toxicology Database, Agricola, Aquatic Biology, Aquaculture & Fisheries
Resources, BIOSIS, and Current Advances in Plant Science . Some
general membership or organization directories for related science societies
are available.
Exclusion of Subject Matter:
An effort is made to avoid environmental policy and
historical and social aspects of environmental studies that are covered by the
Social Science and Sterling Memorial Libraries. More difficult to define is
exclusion of subjects likely to be collected by the Forestry and Environmental
Studies Library such as woodland ecology, coastal environment, and ecosystem
oriented materials. In the past several years greater efforts have been made to
improve coverage of botany and agriculture.

LAW LIBRARY
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
The Law Library collects any substantial scholarly or
authoritative monograph or serial on environmental law in the United States.
Outside the strictly legal sphere, the more substantial monographs on
environmental regulation or policy in the United States are collected. Because
the Law Library has comprehensive collections of federal and state statutes,
federal regulations, and post-1970 federal legislative history, it complements
the Government Documents Center as a resource for research in environmental
legislation and administrative regulation. The environmental legal materials in
the Foreign and International Law Annex of the Yale Law Library deal with
environmental regulation by international and regional intergovernmental
organizations and foreign countries. The collection emphasizes international
law materials, especially treatises. Collecting the environmental codes of
foreign countries is a special focus of the Foreign and International Law
collection, and treatises on the environmental regulatory systems are collected
comprehensively, but not intensively, i.e., publications are collected for a
wide range of countries, but there are not a lot of materials collected for any
one country, the exception perhaps being Germany.
Exclusion of Subject Matter:
Materials directed at legal practitioners, or professionals
in other fields, are generally not collected. Works focusing on the politics or
economics of the environment are generally not purchased. One major shortcoming
of the Foreign and International Law collection is lack of access to UNEP
documentation, but the Columbia law library is a UNEP depository and materials
can be obtained through interlibrary loan.

CUSHING/WHITNEY MEDICAL LIBRARY
History and Background:
The history of the Medical Library began with some early
medical texts donated at the beginning of Yale College. An official effort at
maintaining a separate collection of medical materials began first in 1814. The
current Medical Library was established on the medical side of campus in 1941
(including modern medicine and the history of medicine). The library was
renovated and expanded in 1990 and renamed the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney
Medical Library. This library provides service to the Yale-New Haven Medical
Center faculty, staff, and students, which includes the Yale School of Medicine
and the Yale-New Haven Hospital, as well as to the greater Yale University
community. The library focuses upon collecting and providing access to
information resources in the areas of the clinical, laboratory, and research
biomedical sciences.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
With regard to the subject of environmental issues, the
Medical Library collects and provides access to materials related to the impact
of the physical environment on the physiology, health and diseased conditions
of humans and animals as related to biomedicine. Materials include monographs,
textbooks, serials, and reference resources in print and electronic formats
(i.e., toxicology handbooks, databases such as MEDLINE, TOXNET, Hazardous
Substances Data Bank).
The Medical Library collects a broad range of materials
on chemicals, substances, and other environmental conditions in the natural,
human-made, occupational, and industrial settings that are considered
hazardous, poisonous, or toxic. The materials relate to the toxicity,
toxicology, pathology, physiopathology, and adverse effects of environmental
factors, and the prevention and control, prognosis, and clinical treatment of
physical conditions due to environmental exposure, including occupational
medicine. Especially pertinent are works on carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, and
chemically-induced diseases.
Examples of subjects that would be collected by the
Medical Library include: lead poisoning, asbestos, radon, radiation, mercury,
ozone layer depletion, and air and noise pollution. The materials may discuss
the effects on growth, development, health of the internal organs, the nervous
system, genetics, and impact especially as related to disease (e.g., cancer,
infertility, respiratory diseases).
Exclusion of Subject Matter:
There is some overlap in the collection with the
Epidemiology and Public Health (EPH) Library. The Medical Library collects
basic and broad-based materials in the areas of epidemiology and public health
as related to environmental factors and exposure. An effort is made to avoid
duplication on environmental and occupational medicine with the EPH Library.

SOCIAL SCIENCE LIBRARIES (SSLIS)
History and Background:
The Social Science Library (SSL) was founded in 1972 by
merging departmental libraries from Sociology, Administrative Science, Labor
and Management, Geography, and Political Science and by establishing the Social
Science Data Archive. In 1976, the Economic Growth Center Collection (a
collection, founded in 1962, of primary statistical publications from emerging
economies) was moved into the Social Science Library and material began to be
collected to support the new School of Organization and Management. In 1982 the Government Documents and
Information Center, although located in the Seeley Mudd Library, became part of
the Social Science Library. This Center
receives depository materials from the U.S. Federal government, the United
Nations, European Union, Food and Agriculture Organization, and the Canadian
Federal Government.
SSLIS serves the departments of Sociology, Political
Science, Economics, the Institute for Social and Policy Studies and the School
of Management. Other significant patron groups include Forestry and
Environmental Studies, the Yale Center for International and Area Studies, the
Law School, and students and undergraduates concentrating in the social
sciences. SSL is the central service point at Yale for current research and
teaching in these disciplines. SSL maintains a collection of graduate-level,
high-use, English-language social science monographs, an extensive journal
collection, an indepth collection of social science reference material in paper
and electronic formats, a collection of social science numeric data (the Social
Science Data Archive), and the Economic Growth Center collection of
development, planning, and statistical reports for developing countries.
Environmentally Related Subject Areas:
SSL collects materials on environmental economics,
environmental aspects of international trade and all aspects of environmental
policy including regulation and implementation. Other areas of emphasis include
corporate social responsibility, green marketing, environmental audits and domestic
technology conversion. Environmental topics are well represented at SSL in
working papers from universities located throughout the world. A collection of
contemporary and historical public opinion data also supports research in these
areas. SSL is the main location at Yale for publications from the National
Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), the World Bank and other major research organization that
frequently address environmental issues.
