Hi all,
I’ve been asked by Rita Evans, Library Director, Institute
of Transportation Studies,
to forward this notice to everyone, and am happy to do so. What
a great resource!

G3 Service Extended
The ITS Library at UC Berkeley provides duplicate copies of
research reports, manuals and other publications available free of charge to
public employees in California involved in transportation. For a trial period
of October 1 through December 15, 2009, we are making this service –
known as Going…Going…Gone (G3) – available to public
employees involved in transportation anywhere in the US.
To use G3, direct users to the G3 website at http://www.techtransfer.berkeley.edu/g3/home.php.
Search or browse available titles, then make requests online. Topics include pavements,
work zones, traffic operations, bridges, traffic safety, public transit,
finance and administration, and more.
First time users will need to register, but no password or
other authorization is needed to use the system. Users must provide contact
information, including an email address, which indicates that they work for a
public agency. Users can make request directly; the requests do not have to be
routed through a library.
Eligibility extends to public employees at the federal,
state, tribal, regional and local level. DOTs, MPOs and other agencies are all
eligible. We also will honor requests from any private company which is a
member of a regional TKN.
There are no charges to users. The National TKN Resource
Sharing Project http://ntl.bts.gov/networking/TKN_ILL_Guidelines.html
is providing funding to cover mailing costs, while the ITS Library and
California LTAP are covering administrative costs.
Please feel free to contact the ITS Library if you have any
questions, 510-642-3604 or itslib@xxxxxxxxxxxx
