The Encyclopedia will be held by libraries at colleges, universities and other institutions of higher education; the libraries of nongovernmental organizations, government agencies, consulting firms and research institutes of energy, environmental, and public policy issues. The electronic version will be available in its entirety at Elsevier Science's ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com), and linked to Elsevier Science's Energy Information Network (www.energyinfo.net). This will give the Encyclopedia a prominent presence on the web.
