New Sustainability Research Guide

In conjunction with Salisbury University’s sustainability initiatives, including the 2010 SU Climate Action Plan with its aim to reduce and offset the university’s greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050, SU’s Blackwell Library has put together a Sustainability Resources Guide. The purpose of the guide is to allow students and researchers to quickly identify key SU resources for their areas of sustainability research. The guide will be updated in real time as new holdings are added to our collection.
