This guide was compiled in anticipation of an upcoming independent management review for the Oregon Department of Transportation, and includes literature that could be helpful as this process is being planned and implemented. Whenever possible, the full-text articles and papers have been included, either as a link, or as an imbedded document. When the full-text was not available, titles are linked to the abstract. Some of the links - particularly those from TRB and ASCE publications - can only be accessed in the full-text format from ODOT computers, because of subscription restrictions. Books that note Books 24/7 in the description can be accessed through the State Library's subscription to that database: http://www.library.state.or.us/; other articles and publications can be obtained by the library through interlibrary loan.
The LibGuide platform is provided through the FHWA Pooled Fund Study TPF 5(237), Library Connectivity and Development. It is part of a collaborative effort among transportation librarians to provide a broader range of information and resources to our customers.
The ODOT Library and ODOT History Center are part of the Oregon Department of Transportation Research Section, located at the Mill Creek Building, 555 13th St. NE, Salem, OR 97301.
The library collaborates with transportation information networks throughout the US and internationally. LibGuides are sponsored through the Library Connectivity & Development Pooled Fund Study, and are being coordinated and shared through the Transportation Knowledge Networks.
The Transportation Library Connectivity & Development Pooled Fund Study is a consortium of libraries in the DOTs and UTCs working cooperatively to enhance library services among its membership.
