GREENR (Global Reference on the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources) provides reference content in the area of the environment, energy and natural resources. From global warming, to food safety, to access to health care, to the impact of economic development on international relations, today's important environmental issues are shaping the future and reach far beyond the United States. GREENR focuses on the academic study of sustainability and the environment. Both interactive and current, GREENR allows users to navigate issue, organization and country portals. A one-stop site, this resource provides news, background information, video, unique commentaries, primary source documents and statistics in highly accessible, visually appealing research areas, covering relevant categories including energy systems, healthcare, food, climate change, population, economic development. One of the things that makes GREENR so user-friendly, is it does not look like the typical database product. Researchers view content in a way that resembles the open web, allowing them to browse to find answers as well as entering search terms.

This e-source also offers:

  • Interactive maps, allowing users to browse by country or topic
  • Contextual multimedia, customizable journals and news, refereed case studies
  • Web 2.0 tools to facilitate content portability
