The National Criminal Justice Reference Service sponsors the Criminal Justice Information Exchange (CJIE) under the auspices of the National Institute of Justice and publishes a directory that identifies the locations, holdings, and services of member libraries.
Abstract
The CJIE aims to foster better communication and cooperation among member libraries and to enhance user services. Member libraries can improve their services in the criminal justice area through information exchange and interlibrary loan. The CJIE directory features an index which provides library names, addresses, telephone numbers, and page numbers to locate full entries. The directory lists CJIE libraries alphabetically by State and province and alphabetically by city within each State. In addition, the directory describes the size of a library's criminal justice collection (books, periodicals, and audiovisual materials), as well as special interest areas. Online services, interlibrary loan procedures, and microfiche capabilities are also noted. The directory lists 50 regional depository libraries of the Government Printing Office. These libraries hold all documents selected for the Depository Program and include many criminal justice documents.
