Access EPA Series
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains a series
of directories to improve access to environmental information
services provided by EPA and other public sector organizations. The
directories are maintained by EPA's Office of Information Resources
Management to support the Agency's mission. Because EPA believes
that public access to environmental information fosters
environmental awareness, the directories are made available
through the National Technical Information Service. Each directory
provides contact information and a description of services provided.
The directories are updated annually. Current directories in the
series are:
State Environmental Libraries.
Major EPA Dockets.
Libraries and Information Services.
Clearinghouses and Hotlines.
Public Information Contacts.

INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is comprised of a Headquarters
Office in Washington, DC, 10 Regional offices, and 13 specialized, scientific
laboratories located throughout the country. There are 28 EPA network libraries -
located in Headquarters and all Regional offices and laboratories to support this
organizational structure. Other information services include:
Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office
Technical Information Unit. Cincinnati, OH
Legislative Reference Library, Washington DC
Public Information Center, Washington DC
The libraries and other information services contain a combined collection of more
than 136,000 books, 5,100 journals subscriptions, 364,000 hard copy reports,
3,200,000 documents on microfilm and microfiche, 9,000 journal article reprints and
25,000 maps. Most of the EPA library network's holdings are cataloged on Online
Computer Library Catalog (OCLC), a national cataloging system.
The information resources of the EPA library network are listed in the network's
Online Library System (OLS). As a central library catalog for the system, it improves
access to the wealth of information available from the 28 libraries. The OLS provides
author, title and keyword access to retrieve information most relevant to any request.
Abstracts of selected titles enhance the value to the Online Library System.
This publication provides background information on the collections of each of the 26
libraries and the wide range of general and specialized information services
provided to EPA staff and other users. The services provided include: acquisition of
books, journals, reports; cataloging; circulation; access to the collections of other
Federal, academic, public and special libraries through interlibrary loan; reference
assistance including preparation of special subject bibliographies and bibliographic
database search services.
Several of the libraries have special information products tailored for EPA Library
needs and special collections on specific subjects. In 1986, the Headquarters
Library developed the Hazardous Waste Superfund Collection for the entire network.
Titles are held by 17 selected EPA libraries.
To facilitate ease of access to the documents in the Hazardous Waste Superfund
Collection (HWC), a PC-based database has been developed. The database, which
is updated quarterly, contains keywords and abstracts of all documents in the
collection. Copies of the database may be obtained from the National Technical
Information Service (NTIS) in Springfield, Virginia. The NTIS Order Number is:
iii
-------
PB90-591320. (See
special collections.)
'Special Collections" Appendix for specific locations of other
In response to EPA staff requests for a way to automate access to small collections,
E-Z REF, a database shell, was developed by the EPA Information Services Branch
(ISB) and the Headquarters Library. E-Z REF is tailored to individual needs of EPA
Program staff and is designed for convenient access to books, reports, journal
articles, and other files of reference information within these EPA programs.
Three character codes have been assigned to each of the network libraries
according to geographical location. Please note that the other information services
noted in paragraph one, e.g., Public Information Center, have not been assigned
library codes. Entries for those services can be found immediately after the library in
its geographic region.

between Library Services/Research Triangle Park (RTP) and the University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill. The University provides student help on a half-time basis. The
OAQPS library is a branch of the Library Services/RTP. Reference questions related
to air pollution and research can be directed to that library (see pages 27-28).
The library consists of approximately 200 books, 35 journals and bulletins, and a
complete collection of EPA/OAQPS reports. The subject focus is on air pollution and
control technology, including material on costs, chemical technology, minerals and
statistics. The reference collection emphasizes chemistry and engineering.

The Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory (CERL) Library was established in
1966, when the Pacific Northwest Water Laboratory of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Administration was opened. The emphasis was on marine, estuanne and
fresh water quality. Since EPA was established in 1970, the laboratory's
responsibilities and the library collection have been broadened to include air and
terrestrial research.
Laboratory research programs are divided into several broad areas: the ecological
effects of airborne pollutants, such as ozone, global climate change, acid rain, the
effects of toxic chemicals on plants, animals, and ecological systems, such as
wetlands, to human impacts; the ecological risks from the terrestrial release of
bioengineered organisms and other biological control agents; and the assessment
and restoration of contaminated or degraded environments.
The library collection consists of 4,000 books, more than 150 subscriptions to journals
and bulletins, and an extensive file of government documents, including EPA reports
and state and Federal research reports. Microfiche and microfilm expand the
holdings. A comprehensive reprint collection on acid precipitation and air ecology is
maintained in a nearby location.
Library Services Include the Following:
Acquisitions: Books are purchased at the request of laboratory employees to
support ongoing research.
69
-------
Cataloging: All books and library materials are cataloged into the EPA Online
Library System (OLS):'
Circulation: Library materials are loaned to EPA staff and on site contractors. Local
university staff also borrow materials. Students and private citizens may use the
materials in the library.
Intel-library Loan (ILL): Books not available in the CERL library or through the
Oregon State University Library are obtained using a network of interlibrary loan
resources, including the computerized facilities of OCLC.
Reference: Ready reference service is available for EPA staff and the general
public. The library also networks with other EPA and special libraries, thus extending
the resources for reference requirements that go beyond the on site collection.
Equipment: The library staff employs an IBM PC XT, VAX terminal, and Mac IICX for
services and operations. The library is on PCSA and Ethernet. The library provides
reader/printers for patrons who need to use microform materials. The library has
ready access to photocopy equipment and a fax machine.
Computer Assisted Literature Search Services: DIALOG, National Library of
Medicine (NLM) databases.
