A brief description of the institution’s library support for sustainability research:
The CSULB Library provides library instruction, learning opportunities, and research support on a variety of topics related to sustainability. As sustainability is cross-disciplinary, one will find reference handbooks, reports, and monographic materials (books) in various subject areas such as environmental studies, biological sciences, chemistry, geology, engineering, business, and geography, just to name a few. The subject librarians also create dozens of environmentally related research guides, detailing how a researcher can search several subject-specific databases (of over 330 electronic databases) to obtain access to millions of research articles as well as other online research materials such as datasets, market research reports, industry reviews, or government documentation. As the mission of CSULB's library is to support the curriculum, research materials related to sustainability are continually updated based on the information needs of students and faculty.
Relevant research guides on sustainability include:
• Environmental Science and Policy: https://csulb.libguides.com/esp
