CSMW Library
One of the major requests brought forward by stakeholders during the SMP Conceptualization workshop series was the need to develop a repository of reports and studies relevant to RSM. Towards that end, CSMW has been compiling documents since 2003 that it either prepared or funded, as well as other reports and studies that were germane to its mission. To make this storehouse more user-friendly, the studies and reports were separated into topical sections. The library also includes reports CSMW affiliates requested to be included.
Please be advised that some of the CSMW documents listed here may not be ADA compliant. When you click to open a document and see a pop-up window about ADA compliance, please scroll to the bottom of the window, click the "Request Document" button, and enter the document URL and your email address for an immediate reply with the document.
