摘要：	This report is a record of the formation, major activities and accomplishments of the Transportation Library Connectivity pooled fund study, TPF-5(105), from its launch in October 2004 through its third annual meeting in September 2007. In addition to this report, we have also prepared a companion Transportation Librarians Toolkit as a practical resource for current and future transportation librarians, especially those working in state DOTs. Some 50 state DOTs, 600 transit agencies and nearly 400 metropolitan planning organizations generate a staggering amount of valuable research, yet the transportation sector lacks a systematic approach to effectively manage this information. This challenge has been well documented in reports such as the Federal Highway Administrations Value of Information and Information Services, the National Cooperative Highway Research Programs Scoping Study for a National Strategic Plan for Transportation Information Management, and TRB Special Report 284, Transportation Knowledge Networks: A Management Strategy for the 21st Century. The Transportation Library Connectivity pooled fund study was formed against the backdrop of these challenges and developments. Members felt that by working together more closely and more formally as transportation agency libraries, they could improve services to their customers and also enhance their readiness to embrace the planned policy changes recommended by SR 284 for inclusion in reauthorization of the transportation act in 2009.
