Library References


While there is a large volume of meterological information available on the Internet, it represents only a small percentage of the actual total. The majority of meteorological information resides in public and university libraries. The Internet is no substitute for a good library. Although it is tedious and time consuming, proper library research is necessary for any project. Governments documents contain a wealth of weather data. Librarians can provide assistance and suggstions in finding resources. Most major libraries have inter-library loan agreements with other institutions.
