INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is comprised of a
Headquarters Office in Washington, D.C., 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
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.

Division. Any questions can be directed to Mary Patterson, Information

over the world. The AIC provides free literature searches to State and local air
pollution agency employees and environmental groups as well.
Services include extensive literature searching support; interlibrary loan,
utilizing a combination of off-site photocopying truck delivery service from
local libraries and blanket purchase agreements with major research libraries
in this country and abroad; reference and acquisitions.

The Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) Library was
established as a unit of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and
was transferred from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Durham, North Carolina, in 1968.
Since then it has undergone several parent organization changes and in April,
1971, was designated as part of the Environmental Protection Agency.
In 1981, the library began to be staffed by student interns as part of the contract
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 800 books, 70 journals and newsletters,
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.
Library services include the following:
Acquisitions: The library procures new materials for the use of OAQPS
personnel, including monographs, journals and government reports.
Circulation: Materials from the collection are circulated to EPA employees
and contractors.

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, estuarine 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.
At present the laboratory has three branches: Ecotoxicology Branch, Water
Branch and Terrestrial Branch. Research concerns acid precipitation and its
effects on the ecosystem, wildlife toxicology, genetic engineering, wetlands
and hazardous waste.
The library collection consists of 3,500 books, over 150 subscriptions to
journals and newsletters, 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.
