                       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

 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.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL):   ILL requests by EPA personnel are forwarded to
Library Services/RTP  if  the material  cannot be  supplied from  OAQPS
materials. ILL requests from other libraries for OAQPS materials are completed
by the OAQPS librarian.

Reference:   On-site reference service is available to EPA staff and the public.
Because  of limited  in-house facilities, the  librarian may contact Library
Services/RTP or local universities to obtain necessary information.

Equipment:   A microfiche reader/printer and a photocopier are  available.

The Atmospheric Sciences Research Laboratory (ASRL)/Meteorology Division
library originated in 1958 at the Robert S. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center in
Cincinnati, Ohio. Through  a series of government reorganizations it was
transferred to North Carolina in 1968 and became a part of the Environmental
Protection Agency at Research Triangle Park in 1971.

Its major field of interest is the meteorological aspects of air pollution, including
model development and application,  climatic  analysis,  and geophysical
studies.

The collection includes 3,200 books, 125 scientific journal subscriptions and
1,300 technical reports. The library also holds a collection of climatic data
material consisting of approximately 4,000 climatic data reports on microfiche,
over 400 rolls of film of synoptic data, surface and vortic'rty charts, and a large
body of topographic maps.

The library was established in 1971, based on material from the Federal Water
Quality Administration office in Portland, Oregon. The collection was originally
heavily oriented toward water pollution, but has since  been developed to
encompass all other areas of environmental quality.

At present, the holdings include monographs, serials, a  basic environmental
law collection, EPA reports (both  hard  copy and microfiche) and local  and
State government reports. The non-EPA portion of the collection is focused
mainly on materials pertinent to the four Region 10 States:  Alaska, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington.

Library services include the following:

Acquisitions:  All materials acquired for the Regional office,  Laboratory and
State operations offices are coordinated by the librarian.

Cataloging:   All incoming materials are processed for rapid retrieval.

Circulation:   All library materials circulate to Region 10 staff. EPA technical
reports are circulated to all Region 10 requestors. Region 10 EPA reports are
available for loan throughout the country.
                                                                     59

-------
 Intel-library Loan (ILL):   Interlibrary loans are transacted primarily through
 OCLC, but phone requests and ILL forms are also accepted. The library also
 participates in the University of Washington  Library's  Resource Sharing
 Program and utilizes the Washington Library Network (WLN), as well.

 Reference:   On-site ready reference service is available to EPA staff and the
 general public. More extensive reference service is  provided to EPA staff as
 required.

 Equipment:   Microform readers are available in the library. Microform copies
 and photocopies are available to EPA staff; a limited number of copies may
 be made by other Federal agency employees. Public copiers are not available.

 Computer  assisted  literature search services:  Chemical  Information
 System (CIS), DIALOG, Ground Water On-Line, LEXIS/NEXIS, National Library
 of Medicine (NLM), TOXNET, TOXLINE; the Department of Justice's Justice
 Retrieval  and Inquiry System (JURIS)  and  EPA's Enforcement Document

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.
 Send Message "ATTN:   Librarian"

-------
 Cataloging:   All  books and library materials are cataloged into the EPA
 national catalog.

 Circulation:   Library materials are loaned to EPA staff and on-site contractors.
 Local university staff also borrow materials. Students and private citizens may
 use the materials in the library.

 Interlibrary Loan (ILL):   Books not available in the CERL library or through
 the Oregon State University Library are obtained using a network of interlibrary
 loan resources, including the computerized facilities of OCLC.

 Reference:    Ready  reference  service is  available for  EPA staff and the
 general public. The library also networks with other EPA and special libraries,
 thus extending the resources for reference requirements that go beyond the
 on-site collection.

 Equipment:   The library provides reader/printers for patrons who need to
 use microform materials. Photocopy equipment is located near the library.

 Computer assisted literature search services:   DIALOG, National Library
 of Medicine (NLM) databases.
