Abstract:This report is a record of the major activities and accomplishments of the Transportation Library
Connectivity and Development pooled fund study, TPF-5(237), from its approval by FHWA in
2010 through its fifth and final annual meeting in August 2015.
To deal with the overwhelming amount of valuable information produced by transportation
agencies available in digital and physical formats, the transportation sector needs to engage
libraries and leverage the specialized skills and systematic approach of professional librarians to
effectively locate and curate this information.
The Transportation Library Connectivity and Development pooled fund study is a continuation of
the work of the previous study, TPF-5(105). In response to the recommendations of the previous
study, a functional library consortium was established. This consortium offered members
opportunities to enhance and improve services to their customers, while reducing costs and to
prepare for federally funded scientific research and data policy changes, MAP 21 and the
evolution of the National Transportation Library. A new pooled fund study, to be led by Missouri
DOT, is being planned to build upon the achievements of this study.
