Our monograph library currently consists of the following:

Calculating Procurement's Value
The purpose of this monograph is to propose a universally-accepted definition of cost savings and to identify the tools to use in developing a successful cost savings and benefits program.

A Green Purchasing Policy Roadmap
A step-by-step guide for achieving a green-purchasing model designed specifically for use within the campus environment. Authored by Brian Yeoman, the monograph is the result of studies done at NAEP's Sustainability Institute in May 2007.
