ORD/CCTE/Great Lakes Toxicology and Ecology Division Library Services

The Great Lakes Toxicology and Ecology Division (GLTED) Library, part of the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure (CCTE), was founded in 1967 to support research staff at the Division in predicting and assessing the effects of pollutants and other stressors on our nation's freshwater resources. The library contains 2,000 book titles, 140 journal titles, 20 active journal subscriptions, and an extensive GLTED-Authored Reprint Collection (1965-present). Major fields and topics of interest include analytical chemistry, aquatic biology, aquatic toxicology, contaminated sediment research, effluent testing, freshwater ecology, global climate change (ecological effects), Great Lakes ecology, water pollution, and wetlands.
