Hi,

Just wondering if there are white papers or suggestions on how to load
resource data to the global resource pool beyond the manual data entry?

Yes, an alternate method is to create the resources in the Enterprise
Resource Pool in another application, such as an Excel spreadsheet, or in a
local Microsoft Project file (not saved in the Project Server database).
This allows you to spend all the time you need to confirm that the
information is correct for every resource. If you create the resources in
an Excel workbook, you copy the resources to a local project file and then
import the resources into Project Server using Tools - Enterprise Options -
Import Resources to Enterprise. A complete methodology for doing this is
documented in our book for Project Server administrators, available for
purchase by clicking either URL in my signature block. Hope this helps.

Alternatively if you have Active Directory implemented then you can pull in
resources directly from AD
