Abstract
An institutional network that provies homeowners, small businesses, and other small-scale energy users with access to information on energy conservation techniques and alternative energy technologiers was created when the National Energy Extension Service (EES) was established in 1978. To help EES provide practical reference materials and responsive technical assistance to State Energy Extension Services Offices, the Center for Energy Policy and Research (CEPR) of the New York Institute of Technology was retained by the U.S. Department of Energy to setp up and operate a national information clearinghouse for the Energy Extension Service. THrough this clearinghouse CEPR produces and delivers to all States and U.S. Territories monthly energy information packages (called INFO EES) that contain complete copies or summaries of practical reference materials (e.g., books, reports, periodical articles) on energy conservation and alternative energy sources, as well as retrieval aids for all package enclosures. States and territories frequently request and receive additional information about Clearinghouse services, INFO EES materials, or specific subjects of interest to them.
