The Midwestern Transportation Research Network (MTRN) Community of Practice (CoP)will provide information professionals and technology transfer specialists with a forum for sharing practices related to accessing, disseminating, and archiving transportation information. The site will be useful to technology transfer specialists as a resource for locating and exchanging information on research and innovative technologies, and as a means for acquiring technical assistance from information professionals. The site will be useful to library professionals as a means for collaboration in sharing information resources, implementing library science standards, and discussing cataloguing and reference issues, providing reference assistance, and developing concensus on acquiring, archiving, and disseminating transportation information. In addition the CoP will be used by the members of the MTRN transportation library consortium to discuss issues related to the start-up of the new consortium, and to provide FHWA Division offices and others with access to information resources available through the member libraries. For further information, contact Mark Chandler, Technology Transfer/Quality Engineer, FHWA, 608-829-7514, mark.chandler@fhwa.dot.gov or Nelda Bravo, Head of the National Transportation Library, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 202-366-2480, nelda.bravo@bts.gov.
