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.
Public Information Contacts.
Major EPA Dockets.
• Libraries and Information Services.
Clearinghouses and Hotlines.

INTRODUCTION
This is the second edition of the Directory of State Environmental Libraries. The
Directory is part of an EPA initiative to support information sharing between EPA
and the States. It will be updated annually.
The Directory contains information on the collections and services provided by
State environmental libraries. It also contains four appendices covering the
following areas:
• Subject Index to State Environmental Library Collections
• List of State Environmental Hotlines
• Name Directory of State Environmental Librarians
• State Directory of State Environmental Librarians
• State Environmental Libraries Collection and Services Form
The information contained in the Directory was collected from State
environmental libraries. Libraries were identified by the Information Management
and Services Division and the EPA Library Network. We are aware that some
libraries may not be listed.
If you know of other State environmental libraries not included in this edition,
please give them a copy of the "State Environmental Libraries Collection and
Services" form which is located in the back of the Directory and ask them to
complete and return the form to the address listed below:
Chief, Information Services Branch (PM-211D)

This directory was compiled by Steven Hirsch, Reference Librarian. Any questions

LIBRARIAN: Katie Sloan

TIME ZONE: Pacific
DESCRIPTION OF COLLECTION AND SERVICES: The library contains
approximately 11,000 books and documents, including books classified by the Library
of Congress system, Alaska State documents, Alaska municipal documents,
University of Alaska documents, documents from other States and countries,
conference and symposium proceedings, EPA documents, Federal documents, and
environmental impact statements.
The library subscribes to 75 periodicals held in the Juneau central office, and
administers subscriptions received elsewhere in the State (approximately 200) at
DEC offices.
Only one-fifth of the collection is cataloged. The library offers a "periodical
awareness service" to DEC employees where the tables of contents of magazines are
copied and sent to anyone interested. The employees then ask for the articles to be
sent to them via interlibrary loan (ILL).
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 EPA library in the Region. While the DEC library is a
branch of the Alaska State Library and open to the public, 95% of its circulation and
ILL activity is for DEC and other State employees. :
