  • X-topic: Information

In Erie County, Ohio we have used a local college library for two community projects. A Restoration Advisory Board and a NASA Reactor Decommissioning Project.

The down-side has been space. The RAB takes up a full four by eight foot shelf, and not one shovel-full of soil has been turned. To ask that they store two copies may be asking too much. This space will be used for years to come.

As Co-Chair I have been a proponent of compact disk copies to reduce the space taken by the reference materials.

Further, local colleges offer Internet access through many computers, so they are prime sites for the distribution of information.

Maybe some monetary resources should be spent remunerating libraries and colleges for the use of their space and personnel.
