                        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.

The libraries contain a combined collection  of over 122,422 books,
5,414 journals, 377,217 hard copy reports, 3,075,443 documents 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 1,500 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 (IMTIS) 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.,  EHA.    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, 01A.)

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 23-24).

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.

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

The Region 5 library was established in January 1972 and is part of
the  Region's  Office  of  Public  Affairs.    Much  of  the  initial
collection was acquired from pre-EPA offices in Chicago in the then
Department of Health, Education  and  Welfare's Public Health Service
and the Department of the Interior's  Federal Water Pollution Control
Administration (later Federal Water Quality Administration).

The library is staffed by EPA and contractor personnel and  provides
services to EPA  staff and, on  a  more  limited  basis, to the general
public. The subject areas of the collection are:
o   Air pollution
o   Air quality
o   Groundwater
o   Hazardous wastes
o   Noise
o   Pesticides
                            o  Recycling and resource recovery
                            o  Solid waste management
                            o  Toxic substances
                            o  Water pollution

The  collection  comprises  case  files,  technical  reports,   data
compilations and background information used to develop the basis
for field studies and enforcement actions; research and development
reports   on   municipal,  industrial   and   agricultural  pollution
abatement  practices;  enforcement   conference   documents  and
environmental  law materials; technical reference materials covering
chemistry,  pesticides,  toxic   substances,   air  technology  and
hazardous wastes.  Holdings include  1,000 books; 100 journals (85
current   subscriptions)  and   numerous  paper   and  microfiche
documents.

The Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory (EMSL) library is
operated by the Management  Information Services Branch of the
Office  of  Program  Management  and  Support under contract to
Labat-Anderson,  Inc.   The  library was  established  in 1966  as
part  of the  Public  Health  Service,  Southwestern  Radiological
Health   Laboratory.    Materials  were  primarily  oriented  toward
nuclear science  at  that time.   When the facility became  part of
EPA  in  1970, the collection was broadened to  include all aspects
of environmental science.

The mission of the Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory is to
develop, evaluate and apply methods and strategies  for monitoring
the environment. Major program areas include:


o  Advanced analytical methods     o  Quality assurance
o  Advanced monitoring methods    o  Radiation monitoring
o  Exposure assessment             o  Special projects
o  Monitoring network design

The present collection of the EMSL library supports this mission.

The holdings include 1,152 books;  1,200 hard copy technical reports;
46,530  microfiche  reports, and subscriptions  to more  than  100
scientific journals and newspapers.

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

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: Toxics and Pesticides
Branch,  Hazardous Materials and Water Branch and the Air 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 micro-film expand the holdings.  A
comprehensive reprint  collection  on acid  precipitation  and  air
ecology is maintained.
