INTRODUCTION
This the first edition of the Directory of State Environmental Libraries. The
Directory is part of an EPA initiative to expand information sharing betweenEPA
and the States. It will be updated in October of each year.

by State environmental libraries. It also contains four appendices coveringthe
following areas:
o Subject Index to State Environmental Library Collections

DESCRIPTION OF COLLECTION AND SERVICES: The library contains
approximately 10,000 books and documents, including books classified by
the Library of Congress system, Alaska State documents, Alaska municipal
documents, University of Alaska documents, documents from other States and
countries, conference and symposium proceedings, EPA documents, Federal
documents and environmental impact statements.
The library subscribes to 75 periodicals held in the Juneau central office, and
administers subscriptions received elsewhere in the State (some 200) at DEC
offices.
Only one-fifth of the collection is cataloged. The library offers a "periodical
awareness service" to DEC employees where the tables of contents of
magazines are copied and sent to anyone interested. The employees then ask
for the articles to be sent to them via interlibrary loan (ILL).
INTERLIBRARY LOAN (ILL) POLICY: The Alaska DEC library does not
charge an ILL fee. The library responds to ILL requests received when possible
and refers those it cannot fill to other agencies. The DEC requests a number
of ILL'S from other libraries, many from the EPA library in the Region. While
the DEC library is a branch of the Alaska State Library and open to the public,
95% of its circulation and ILL activity is for DEC and other State employees.
