PREFACE

This publication is the result of a study undertaken by the National EnergyInformation Center (NEIC), a service of the Energy InformationAdministration (EIA), to provide its customers with a list of generally free orlow-cost energy-related educational materials available for students andeducators.

Each entry includes the address, telephone number, and description of theorganization and the energy-related materials available. Some organizationsnow make their products available via computer. When available, Internet(Web) and electronic mail (E-Mail) addresses were included in this year'sedition. Each entry is followed by a number, which is referenced in thesubject index in the back of this book.

Some of the organizations represented in this list take policy positions oncertain energy issues and express them even in educational materials.Because EIA is the independent statistical and analytical agency within theU.S. Department of Energy (DOE), it does not advocate any policy pcsitionof DOE or any other organization. EIA has completed this list soleh, lo aideducators and students in locating materials.

The list, which was compiled by Paula Altman of NEIC, is updated once ayear. To include a new entry or to obtain a free copy of this list, contact NEICat the following address:
