[Asis-l] The Green Library Blog: Major Additions

[gerrymck]

Colleagues/

Since launching The Green Library blog nearly a month ago I have added
a number of significant news items which I believe/hope will be of
interest:

The Green Library blog is devoted to documenting significant
activities, events, literature, and projects that focus on " ...
increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources — energy,
water, and materials — while reducing building impacts on human health
and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better
siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal" of
and by libraries.
