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 Rotlines
. 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,
@ P,inled on Recycled Paper

APPENDIX B
-------
Introduction
State Environmental Libraries is part of an EP A initiative to support information
sharing between EP A and the States. It contains descriptive information on
State environmental library collections and services and contact information for
access. Six appendices provide quick reference for subjects, hotlines, and names.
The information contained in this publication was collected from State
environmental libraries. Two new appendices are listed to provide wider access
to State environmental information. The Federal Depository Library Program
Regional Depository Libraries lists the approximately 50 Regional Depository
Libraries which provide public access to government publications. Alternate
State Environmental Contacts lists environmental information contacts for States
without a library.
If you know of other State environmental libraries not included in this edition,
please give them the "State Environmental Libraries Collection and Services"
form located in the back of this publication.
ACCE$S EP A State Environmental Libraries was compiled by Stephen F. Mitchell,
Reference Librarian. Any questions or comments should be directed to ACCESS
EP A, Us. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, PM-211A,
Washington, DC 20460. Phone: (202) 382-5922 or (8) 382-5922.

Interlibrary Loan Policy: The Alaska DEC library does not charge an ILL fee.
The library responds to ILL requests received when possible and refers those it
cannot fill to other agencies. The DEC requests a number of ILL's from other
libraries, many from the EP A library in the Region. While the DEC library is a
branch of the Alaska State Library and open to the public, 95 percent of its
circulation and ILL activity is for DEC and other State employees.

FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARY PROGRAM
REGIONAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARIES
To assure public access to the wealth of government information, the u.s.
Government Printing Office (GPO) administers the Federal Depository Library
Program. Each year, nearly 1,400 Depository Libraries select titles relevant to
their local needs from the thousands of new publications issued by the
government. More than 50 Regional Libraries receive all unclassified
government publications of interest to the public and retain them permanently,
in either hard copy, microfiche, or CD ROM. All Federal Depository Libraries
are open to those who wish to visit and use their depository collections. Users
can also take advantage of reference assistance and other services that may be
available.
