TRAIL
CRL supports TRAIL, the Technical Report Archive & Image Library. TRAIL works to identify, acquire, catalog, and digitize U.S. agency technical reports issued primarily prior to 1976. TRAIL provides unrestricted access to these digitized technical reports through the TRAIL Search Interface.
The PSU Libraries membership with CRL allows us to request material from the Linda Hall Library free-of-charge through CRL. The Linda Hall Library is the world’s foremost independent research library devoted to science, engineering, and technology. CRL partners with the Linda Hall to preserve and develop historical research collections in STEM.
The collections covered by the partnership include current and back issues of over 50,000 journal titles acquired and maintained by CRL and Linda Hall over the years. These include print serials from Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, and other publishers; historical serials published by the Russian Academy of Sciences and other learned societies in Europe, Asia, and the U.S.; foreign serials in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering received through the Library of Congress Cooperative Acquisition Program; engineering specifications, technical reports, standards and other publications of U.S. and foreign government agencies; and other retrospective serials held by CRL and Linda Hall.
To find materials in the Linda Hall Library, use the Linda Hall Library catalog. You can request materials by submitting an Interlibrary Loan Form. For more information or assistance with requests, contact Interlibrary Loan or your subject liaison librarian.
