One of the largest transportation libraries in the world, the Northwestern University Transportation Library has collections on transportation law enforcement and police management, and environmental impact assessment. The transportation collection emphasizes current socioeconomic aspects, particularly management, operations, finance, planning, regulation and safety. All transportation modes--air, rail, water, highway, and pipeline--are represented; both U.S. and international publications are collected. Other aspects, such as technology and history, are covered selectively. The law enforcement collection focuses on police administration and training, and traffic law enforcement. The environmental impact statement collection (ca. 52,000 volumes) includes most of the EIS's prepared under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. These resources support education and research programs for Northwestern’s Transportation Center, Center for Public Safety, Infrastructure Technology Institute, faculty and students, as well as, the national and worldwide transportation and law enforcement research communities.
