| Ethanol production from cellulosic biomass materials has emerged as a hot topic of national priority over the past few years and will continue to grow in the future. Recent advances in cellulosic conversion to biofuels rests on a complex information foundation. The complexity derives from the multi-disciplinary nature of the work reaching across fields as diverse as the environment, society, agriculture, economics, chemistry and technology. Case studies will explore the pathways and technologies currently in use to access these diverse information resources. Library initiatives on the horizon will showcase how a global information network for biofuels led by the National Agricultural Library would streamline the process for finding this complex information. Easy access to comprehensive information and tools is only possible in the 21st century through collaborative networks between providers and users. |
