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

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.

DESCRIPTION OF DATABASES USED BY EPA LIBRARIES
(See individual library descriptions for a list
of specific databases used.)
BBS (Bibliographic Retrieval System) a commercial vendor of
databases, provides access to more than 60 databases in science,
technology, business economics, humanities, social sciences and
other areas.
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.

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
