This compilation, an update of TB 06-5, provides a review of new resources on solar energy available in the collections of the Library of Congress. While the emphasis is on four topics–solar heating and cooling; photovoltaics and solar cells; solar thermal engineering; and solar building design, many of the sources listed in the Abstracting and Indexing Services section also include references to literature on other aspects of solar energy and their applications. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader “on target.”
