Greetings,

I need a little input on what other Depositories do with Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs).

Do you keep and catalog local EIRs for historic purposes?

I am very fortunate that my university closes from 25 December to 1 January, so I don't need to drain my vacation time dry in order to visit my family for the holidays. However, I got a reminder that I need to make this information public, so potential depository library users will know that we're closed.

Dr. Drapeau is the 2006-2008 AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow at the Center for Technology and National Security policy of the National Defense University in Washington. He also has his own fun blog and tweets at Twitter under the name "Cheeky_Geeky". How cute is that?
