DYK: National Transportation LibGuides

Did you know...

National Transportation LibGuides

Librarians from the National Transportation Library (NTL) and members of the National Transportation Knowledge Network (NTKN) produce research e-guides called “National Transportation LibGuides” from time-to-time. These LibGuides provide introductions, summaries, resources, and contact information for various transportation research topics.

Some examples include: Bicycle and Pedestrian Injuries by Type of Vehicle, Knowledge Management in Transportation, Life Cycle of Pavement, Practical Design, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Additionally, some LibGuides cover general research information such as Accessibility, Citation Guides, Digitization, and Research Tools.

In addition to the currently published LibGuides, there are other LibGuides that the National Transportation Library has assigned as private. These guides cannot be found at the above link, but they can still be accessed on the LibGuides website through this document.

New Jersey Legal Research

NJDOT employees conducting research on legal issues related to transportation can access many resources via the New Jersey State Library (NJSL).

NJSL’s Law Library recently published a list of New Jersey Legal Research Resources. The Law Library also maintains links to pages related to the State Legislature, administrative law including a searchable database of the New Jersey Administrative Code, and other topics.

NJSL and the NJDOT Research Library also have access to the Lexis Plus database.  This tool allows you to easily search the statutes or administrative code using citations or keywords.  The database includes annotations, case law materials, additional historic information, and links to additional and related information.

The Law Library recently helped an NJDOT employee access a historical version of the State Highway Access Management Code.

To start your research, please contact the NJDOT research librarian, Eric Schwarz, MLIS, at (609) 963-1898, or email library@dot.nj.gov.
