The Louisiana Energy & Environmental Resource & Information Center (LEERIC) was a cooperative
program between the LSU Center for Coastal, Energy & Environmental Resources (CCEER) Information Services
Division (ISD), The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality (LDEQ), and private sector supporters.
Its mission was to:
- function as a clearinghouse of technical and non-technical energy and environmental information, including policy and statistical data;
- acquire and provide, through inter-library loan, energy and environmental resources to all groups in Louisiana;
- collect, catalog, and maintain quality print and non-print materials which are especially pertinent to understanding energy and related environmental issues, research, and education as they relate to Louisiana;
- provide a single stop energy and related environmental information service through a toll free 800 hotline number (in Louisiana only) and a web site;
- serve as part of a national network of Alliance Centers for Environmental Education;
- work and network with business, industry, government, civic leaders, teachers, administrators, and students to enhance science education locally and throughout Louisiana;
- develop and deliver quality hands-on science workshops related to energy use and conservation for teachers; and
- produce credible materials for educators and researchers.
Upon completion of the program:
- the active web site has been converted to this archive.
Older materials and links have been removed. Updated and current versions may be found on other web sites, such as DNR & DEQ, or through online web searches.
