PREFACE

This publication is the result of a study undertaken by theNational Energy Information Ce nter (NEIC), a service of the EnergyInformation Administration (EIA), to provide its customers with alist of generally available free or low-cost energy-relatededucational materials for students and educators. The list isupdated once a year. To include a new entry in the next issue,contact NEIC at the following address:

National Energy Information Center, EI-231Energy Information AdministrationRoom 1F-048, Forrestal Building1000 Independence Avenue, S.W.Washington, DC 20585(202) 586-8800TTY: For people who are deaf or hard of hearing: (202) 586-1181

This y ear's edition contains several new features. Mostorganizations have added their fax number and electronic mail(E-Mail) address to the list. A table of contents and a subjectindex were also added to better assist our readers. Each entry isfollowed by a number, which is referenced in the subject index inthe back of this book.

Some of the organizations represented in this list take policypositions on certain energy issues and express them even inschool-level materials. Because EIA is the independent stat isticaland analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE),it does not advocate any policy position of DOE or any otherorganization. EIA has completed this list solely to aid educatorsand students in locating materials. It is the responsibility ofthe educators to help their st udents draw conclusions about energyissues.

The list was compiled by Paula Altman of the National EnergyInformation Center.

Released for Printing: February 17, 1995
