TO:
U.S. Citizens, EPA Staff and Partners:
ACCESS EPA is your guide to EPA information resources,
services and products. Its purpose is to make environmental
information useful for citizens, environmental organizations
and businesses, as well as EPA staff.
We strongly believe that public access to information
strengthens EPA's ability to fulfill its mission. Convenient
access to information helps you to fully participate in
critical environmental decisionmaking and gives EPA the
feedback necessary to steer the development of programs.
ACCESS EPA includes pointers to the wealth of EPA
information available through many access contacts. ACCESS
EPA is available as both a consolidated guide and in the
following series of individual titles:
. Public Information Tools
. Major EPA Dockets
. Clearinghouses and Hotlines
. Records Management Programs
. Major EPA Environmental
Databases
. EPA Library and
Information Services
. State Environmental Libraries
ACCESS EPA titles, updated annually, are for sale by the
U.S. Government Printing Office and the National Technical
Information Service. The titles are also available for
reference at Federal Depository Libraries.
We very much welcome your comments on ACCESS EPA. There
is a form at the back of each title to make it easy for you to
help us further improve access to environmental information.
Sincerely,
@ Printed on Recycled P

EPA Library Network
The u.s. Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) is comprised of a
Headquarters Office in Washington, DC, 10 Regional offices, and specialized,
scientific laboratories located throughout the country. There are 28 EP A network
libraries located in Headquarters and 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 journal subscriptions, 364,000 hard copy reports,
3,200,000 documents on microfilm and microfiche, 9,000 journal article reprints,
and 25,000 maps.
The information resources of the EP A library network are listed in the network's
Online Library System (OLS). As a central library catalog for the system, it
provides access to the wealth of information available from the 28 libraries. The
OLS offers author, title and keyword access to documents and makes it possible
to retrieve information relevant to almost any request. Abstracts of selected titles
enhance the value of the OLS. The public can now access the OLS with a
computer and modem. Billing and license agreements for public access to OLS
may be obtained from the U.S. National Technical Information Service (NTIS) at
(703) 487-4807. In addition to the network catalog, most of the EPA library
network's holdings are cataloged on OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), a
national cataloging system with 2700 member libraries.
Several libraries have special information products tailored to EP A 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 (HWSFC), the Hazardous Waste Superfund Database (HWSFD) was
developed. The database, which is updated bimonthly, contains keywords and
abstracts of all documents in the collection. The HWSFD is on OLS, and
subscriptions to it may be purchased from NTIS by calling (703) 487-4807. (See
Appendix D, Subject Index to Collections, for the specific locations of other
special collections.)
v
-------
In response to EP A staff requests for a way to automate access to small
collections, EZ-REF, a database shell, was developed by the EP A Information
Access Branch (IAB) and the Headquarters Library. EZ-REF is tailored to the
individual needs of EP A program staff, and is designed to provide convenient
access to books, reports, journal articles, and other information files within EP A
program offices. EP A staff who are interested in obtaining a copy of EZ-REF
may contact the Headquarters Library.
For further information on the EPA Library Network please contact Jonda Byrd,
National Program Manager, at (8) 684-7133 (FrS) or (513) 569-7183 or at the

How To Use Library and Information Services
Library and Information Services provides descriptive information on the
collections of each of the EP A libraries and information centers and the wide
range of services offered to EP A staff and other users. These services include
acquisition of books, journals, reports; cataloging; circulation; access to the
collections of other federal, academic, public and special libraries through
interlibrary loan; and reference assistance including preparation of special
subject bibliographies and database search services.
Library and Information Services is arranged by EP A organizational structure.
Headquarters information services are listed first, followed by the ten Regions in
which the network is located. Laboratory libraries and other information
sources are listed after the entry for their Regional library.
Each of the network libraries has a unique three letter code (for example, EJ8)
used to identify libraries in the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). The
identifying codes have relevance within the library community. Please note that
the Public Information Center (PIC), Legislative Reference Library, and
Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office, Cincinnati do not have library
codes.
The seven appendices in this publication describe:
. EPA/OCLC Library Codes
. U.S. City Index to EP A Libraries
. Regional/State Index to EPA Libraries
. Subject Index to Collections
. Databases Accessible Through EP A Libraries
. Name Directory
. EP A Library Network Holdings

When the Agency moved to Congress Street in 1990, the Law Library was
combined with the main library and, responsibility and materials for the Public
Affairs pamphlet and videotape/ film collections were transferred to the Regional
Library.
The library is operated by the Information Access Branch of the Planning and
Management Division. The combined collections consist of approximately 10,000
books, 5,000 documents, 7,000 EPA reports, 90,000 microfiche, and 175 journal
titles in two locations: Main Library and the New England Regional Laboratory
Library in Lexington, MA.
Special collections include the Hazardous Waste Superfund Collection, Wetlands
collection, EIC Envirofiche since 1980, subject files, the Federal Register on
microfiche since 1970, and a collection of EP A Test Methods.
The-library provides a full range of services to more than 700 EP A staff, plus
other federal, state, and municipal agencies. It is open to the public.
The Research Library for Solid Waste was established in 1989 to collect, catalog,
disseminate, provide research assistance, and publish information in the subject
fields of nonhazardous solid waste and recycling, principally concerning the
New England Region. It also handles information about innovative
technological developments, case studies, and solid waste management
programs internationally, concentrating on Europe, Japan, and the Third World.
