Library resources on economic development and rural sustainability

The University of Minnesota Southeast Regional Sustainable Development Partnership / The Experiment in Rural Cooperation (ERC) is a member of Southeast Library System (SELS).

The ERC collection is made up of books and other materials that were selected and purchased to provide information in support of ERC's mission and projects in the area of rural economic development and sustainability.

The books are housed at SELCO to make it easier for residents using libraries and school media centers to request them through the SELCO catalog or MnLINK and have them delivered to their local library via the SELCO delivery system.

To search the ERC collection on the SELCO catalog, click the link below. It will bring up a list of all items in the ERC collection. You may request the materials to be delivered to your local public library, using your SELCO library card. If you are in Greater Minnesota, use MnLINK to place your request.
