The ephemeral materials and special collections sections of the library are catalogued in detail in a binder for access in the library.

Ephemeral Materials

Many of these items are received on a regular basis and the library is a frequent recipient of many other documents, reports, and items from "think-tanks."  From American Intelligence Journal (NMIA) to the World of Work (ILO) the library has ninety-six pamphlet files containing newsletters, various publications, reports, reviews, policy reports and conference reports.  The materials are shelved alphabetically by title.   A publication of note in the ephemeral collection is the NATO Weekly Press Releases.  Library holdings include 11 pamphlet files, covering years 1989 to 2000.  See journals page  for a list of current reports and newsletters.
