ACCESS Express, a quick reference guide to major EPA information
contacts, was developed as a pocket guide for convenient access to
EPA information services throughout the country.

The sections on EPA Clearinghouses and Dockets are organized by
primary environmental topics. The Records, Libraries, Public
Information Contacts section is organized by EPA office location, and
includes contacts at EPA Headquarters, Regional Offices,
Laboratories, and Field Offices. Many of the information resources
listed are contractor-operated.

ACCESS Express is a brief version of ACCESS EPA, a comprehensive
directory to major information services and collections of EPA and
other public sector organizations. ACCESS EPA includes major EPA
databases, EPA scientific models, and State Environmental Libraries.
For each contact point, ACCESS EPA provides descriptions of services
and products and is enhanced with a detailed name, title, and subject
index. An order form for ACCESS EPA is on the inside back cover.

ACCESS Express is available at no charge while supplies last from
