Introduction
This bibliography is intended as a guide to the major sources of information on
highways. The focus is primarily on the United States and Canada, with some foreign
publications of international importance included. While the emphasis is on current
materials, several items of historical interest are also included.
Print and electronic resources are listed in separate sequences within each section,
though many of the listed items exist in both modes. The next edition may well see
the rationale for such separation disappear as the migration to cyberspace continues.
This publication itself has only a limited print run, finding its permanent home online
as in the Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies website
(http://www.its.berkeley.edu/publications).
This is a collaborative work, compiled by eight current members of the
Transportation Division of the Special Libraries Association. It is intended as an
ongoing project, and several sections build on the work of contributors to earlier
editions. The bibliography is part of a larger Transportation Division project, a
revised edition (the 6 th ) of the Division’s multi­volume Sources of Information in
Transportation. The complete new edition will be available on the website of the
National Transportation Library (http://ntl.bts.gov/) from Summer 2007.
