The Library is a collection of materials regarding climate change, resilience, bio-diversity, sustainable economics, science and indigenous teachings. Here, the visitor can fine otherwise hard-to-find news; information; political; legal; judicial; scientific literature; data (such as maps, tables, data presentation tools) and industry news and developments, business & economics, etc. The primary focus of materials in the library are climate change and associated news, science, bio-diversity, ecology, economics, indigenous teachings, and climate change impacts on people, and resilient preparation and responses.

The collection is divided into Subject Matter Collections, which are displayed along the left margin of the library window, denoted by folder icons. Most of these collections have sub-collection folders. So if you have an area of interest, you may well find it simply by looking up your interest in display of Collections and Sub-collections. Articles of interest in more than one collection are often cross-posted in other collections.

Using the library tools. There are three main tools you can use to find materials of interest. To use these tools most effectively, be sure that the whole library is selected by clicking on "Library", directly above the first Collection Folder. If you search within a collection, only items in that collection will be searched.

Each article in the library is tagged with several labels denoting specific discussions in the article. These leading tags are displayed below the Collection folders window. To find and use the tags, you can display all tags. Or you can type into the search window your subject. The appropriate tags will be auto-competed as you type. Clicking on any tag will reveal a list of all articles bearing the tag, in the center display panel. For instance, if you are unsure of how to spell “Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current,” typing in “altlantic” will bring all the tags containing those letters. Hover your pointer over each tag displayed and the full tag text will be displayed.

The Search window is located near the top right-hand corner of the library page. You can search on any displayable field. To see which fields are displayable, look at the main display, in the center of the page. The field names are listed. To the far right and above the row of field names is an icon labelled "Library Settings." You can choose any combination of fields to be displayed, and searched.

When you select a citation, its tags are listed below the information window. Clicking on any tab will give you a list of all citations tagged with that one. 

If you select one of the resulting items, you can select another tag on that citation, and the resulting citation list will be of all those with both tags. (To clear a tag, go to the left-hand Tags list and deselect the one you want to eliminate by clicking on it.) 

Another way to use this feature is to collect a list of citations which have a selection of tags that relate to different aspects. For instance if you find an article of interest that is tagged "Injection Well" you can select it, then select "Ohio"in the left-hand Tags list.
