256 Using the Engineering Literature, Second Edition
The dispersal of green engineering research across many journals, both green focused and
broader based, simply demonstrates that this research does not exist as a standalone undertaking.
It is often a continuation or modication of previous research and, thus, is reported in traditional
publications that have been in existence for extended periods of time.
Those seeking to build a green electrical engineering journal collection should rst look to their
current holdings. If they have an adequate collection in the traditional areas of electrical engineer-
ing from the major publishers, then they likely have adequate holdings in the areas of green electri-
cal engineering. This is ...
