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 • Waste Management Records Center, Boston MA The libraries and other information services contain a combined collection of over 127,538 books, 5,048 journals subscriptions, 355,917 hard copy reports, 2,998,513 docu-ments on microfilm and microfiche, 9,000 journal article reprints and 2,000 maps. Most of the EPA library network's holdings are cataloged on OCLC, a national cataloging system. This Guide provides background information on the collections of each of the 28 libraries and the wide range of general and specialized information services provided to EPA staff and the general public. 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 more complete selections of information or special collections on specific subjects. In FY 1986, the Headquarters library developed a special collection on Hazardous Waste for the entire network. The complete collection currently contains over 2,843 books, journals and reports. It is housed in 17 selected EPA libraries. To facilitate ease of access to the documents in the Hazardous Waste 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: PB87-152-690. (See "Special Collections' Appendix for specific locations of the Hazardous Waste and other special collections.) ------- Three-character codes have been assigned to each of the network libraries according to geographical location, e.g., EH A. The 'A' library (last character of code) is always the regional library, the "B," "C," etc., are assigned to other libraries located in the same geographic region. (Prior to 1979, the libraries were assigned numeric codes, e.g., 01 A.) The entries in the Guide are arranged by library code. 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. The ten appendices include the following information: Legend of EPA Library Codes; Guide to Special Collections; Subject Index to EPA Libraries' General Collections; Description of Databases Used by the EPA Libraries; Table of Databases Used by EPA Libraries (in chart-form); Approximate Number of Items Held by EPA Libraries; Cities in which EPA Libraries are located; States in which EPA libraries are located; Regions in which EPA libraries are located; and Names of EPA Library Staff Members. This Guide was prepared by the Information Management and Services Division.

CARL (Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries) is an online bibliographic database which contains the holdings of six major Colorado research libraries. CAS ONLINE, a product of Chemical Abstract Service, contains records for the documents covered since 1967 in the printed version of Chemical Abstracts. Journals, patents, technical reports, books, conference proceedings, and dissertations from all areas of chemistry and chemical engineering are abstracted and the file is updated biweekly. CDS (Compliance Data System) is an EPA management information system that stores, sorts, and reports compliance data for approximately 30,000 stationary sources of air pollution that are subject to air quality regulations. CERCLIS (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System), an EPA database, contains an inventory of potential hazardous waste sites and serves as a vehicle for the EPA Regions to report to Headquarters on the status of major stages of cleanup at sites. CIS (Chemical Information System) is a commercially available collection of scientific and regulatory databases. It contains numeric, textual, and some bibliographic information in the areas of toxicology, environment, regulations, spectroscopy, chemical and physical properties, and nucleotide sequencies. CONSENT DECREE SYSTEM, an EPA/National Enforcement Investigations Center-operated and maintained system consisting of a hardcopy library of consent decrees to which EPA is a party, a computerized inventory of that library, and computerized summaries of the contents of decrees by facility. Also available full-text on JURIS. 79 ------- DATATIMES provides full-text articles from major newspapers and wire services. Newspapers include The Wall Street Journal.

GROUND WATER ON-LINE, a bibliographic database, contains references on the occurrence and utilization of surface and ground water, and on water well technology, indexed titles include trade and technical journals and newsletters, books, and government documents. Because EPA established the Center, there is special emphasis in the database on EPA-sponsored reports.
