]]> Comment on ProQuest & Bernan Press to Publish Statistical Abstract by Inger http://govinfo.sla.org/2012/03/29/proquest-bernan-press-to-publish-statistical-abstract/#comment-3339 Inger Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:48:51 +0000 http://govinfo.sla.org/?p=3736#comment-3339 I am very pleased to hear about Proquest’s decision. I think that the Statistical Abstract is still very needed and highly valued publication. It’s always important to keep a record of the social, political, and economical organization of the US. It’s also great for referencing successful and unsuccessful years of the past. Kodus to Proquest. :-)

I applaud the the transportation librarians well-organized support network and am interested in developing a similar but informal network within my specialty, workplace safety and health.

Are there any other OSHA-types out there in SLA government library land? How can we help each other?

The Public Roads editors graciously offered to highlight or devote other sections of the May/June issue to topics related to the article.

Most notably, Leni Oman was the guest editorialist and she wrote a piece in support of libraries, librarians, and knowledge networks. See Editor’s Notes, “Using Information Investments Wisely.”

One of the items in the Along the Road section is on the new
integrated database (TRID) that combines the records from the Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) Database and the OECD’s Joint Transport Research Centre’s International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) Database. http://trid.trb.org/

And although these pages aren’t included in the online edition, one of the full-page advertisements in the print edition is on the upcoming SLA Annual Meeting, and another ad is on FDsys (the new GPO Access). http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/
