CoALL / RMSLA brown bag on Wednesday, Sept. 29

I went to a brown bag talk and lunch last week. We talked about cool, little unknown libraries in the Denver area. Here are some of the libraries we talked about...

• Office of Surface Mining Technical Library
• Water Resources Data System Library in Wyoming
• While this is not really a library, the Colorado Geological Survey sells many maps and other items at their main office.
• Information Bridge: DOE Scientific and Technical Information
• Western History and Genealogy Collection at DPL
• Colorado Supreme Court Library
• Colorado State Archives provides an excellent library
• University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Library
• Bureau of Land Management Library
• Dept of Interior Libraries, such as the Bureau of Reclamation Library?
• CSU Water Resources Archive
• National Enforcement Investigations Center (NEIC) Environmental Forensic Library
• National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Library
• National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Library
• I talked a little bit about visitor access to the Penrose Library with a referral card and a pass
• http://www.askacademic.org/
• Helen Fowler Library at Denver Botanic Gardens
• Bailey Library at the DMNS
  
• There is a list of many special libraries in Colorado on the Dept. of Education Website
• http://creatingcommunities.denverlibrary.org/
• http://www.coloradohistoricnewspapers.org/

We also talked about what was great about each library, but I just wanted to remember which libraries we talked about. I figure I can now go back later and investigate their websites and resources to see what they have.
