The Library and StreamNet

The StreamNet Program relies on the Library to provide access to documents related to the data submitted to the StreamNet data systems. A primary objective of the Library is preserving and providing access to StreamNet source and data reference documents, as well as those related to data for the Coordinated Assessments Partnership.

Source documents for all data in StreamNet data systems are available through the Library. If you submit your document to StreamNet, we will forward it to the Library and obtain a Library URL to link to your data set. Alternatively, you can submit your document to the Library and use the URL provided when you submit your data set to StreamNet.

StreamNet and Library staff work together to ensure that all StreamNet references have complete and accessible digital records.
