E&E differs from near competitors because it includes video coverage of current events and interviews with government and industry leaders about environmental issues. This subscription covers access to E&E's faceted information products: Energywire, Climatewire, E&E Daily, Greenwire, and E&E News PM. Users click on the facet they want, enter search queries and retrieve digital documents and news articles. Users can also set up personalized profiles for specific subject areas in order to receive alerts and links to content on those topics the moment it is released. -Energywire: Covers the tremendous change and uncertainty utilities face, including the switch to natural gas, the growth of distributed energy, threats to cybersecurity, and technology opportunities. It also provides insight into the shifting landscape of shale oil and gas development, pipelines, and liquefied natural gas due to markets, regulations and environmental concerns. -Climatewire: Delivers insightful, global, and unmatched news breaking coverage of the debate over climate policy and its effects on business, the environment, and society. -E&E Daily: Comprehensive, objective, and original coverage of environmental and energy issues in Congress.

Provides up to date information about climate change, oil and gas resources, nuclear energy policy, alternative energy development, and water resource management. -E&E News PM: Provides readers with late breaking news from Capitol Hill, the White House, the courts, agencies, and industry, across the country, and around the world, providing details before anyone else. E&E's coverage of major breaking news goes deeper and broader than other news services and brings readers informed, in-depth coverage of high-profile issues crucial to allowing for policy, scientific, research, and legal determinations, as well as advance planning and strategic assessment. Another key strength of E&E Publishing is they are fully operational in multiple regional bureaus, keeping readers updated on regional issues and key developments. E&E is the only known vendor of this type of content . Other services aggregate their content from other publishers without providing E&E's context or current events and commentary. The only other way to achieve the range of content and profile service equal to E&E is to subscribe to services of multiple vendors at a cost beyond the library's ability to pay. Library staff members would then have to aggregate and filter the content for each user's individual profile and then disseminate the consolidated content to each individual based on subject preferences. This would require tasking one full-time staff member just to perform this duty-an impossibility with a shrinking staff. This subscription provides content for HECSA Library customers that is not available elsewhere, nor - on a practical level - can it be furnished from multiple other vendors.
