Providing distribution and access
to high quality pollution prevention information

Those who serve businesses and consumers need easy, one-point access to current, quality information. The Region 8 Web Library can help you find pollution prevention (P2) resources for small businesses, agencies, assistance providers, teachers, youth, and the general public on the Internet.

• Search for P2 resources published by state and local programs in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming using the Virtual Card Catalog.
• Peaks to Prairies has Web-published sector resources in several focus areas including: tribal P2, auto body shops, green home construction, outdoor recreation and education. A quick list to these can be found in Business and Education Features.
• The Help Desk provides library research assistance for your P2 questions.
• P2 Bookmarks provides a quick reference to resources on the Web on a variety of common subjects.

You may also access and search national collections of P2 resources by linking to Other Libraries and you are invited to submit your resources to be considered for inclusion in regional and national collections. Material collection is governed and maintained according to the Library Collection Development Policy.

Hard-copy Reference Library

The Center maintains a library of hard-copy only resources that can be made available on a limited basis. The Peaks to Prairies librarian can help you identify resources that meet your needs and fax a list of what's available. Your question may be answered by a simple fax or e-mail without requiring a formal loan. Contact the librarian at information@peakstoprairies.org describing what you are looking for. Topic categories include:

Loan Period: Materials are checked out for four weeks unless otherwise stated.
Quantity Loaned: A maximum of two items may be checked per request.
Returning Materials: You are personally responsible for loan materials from the time they are checked out until they are returned. If you lose loaned materials, you must replace them or reimburse the Library for the replacement costs.

To ensure materials are returned in a timely manner, we recommend you prepare them for return mailing at the end of the third week of the loan period. Replace them in the reuseable mailer, using the return address label included for your convenience. Obtain a mailing receipt to verify mailing date and method in case articles are lost after they leave your hands.
