INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
comprised of a Headquarters in Washington, D.C.,
10 Regional offices, and 13 specialized, scientific
laboratories located throughout the country. The EPA
libraries are located in Headquarters and all Regional
offices and laboratories to support this organizational
structure.
The '28 EPA libraries contain a combined collection of
over 5G,QQQ' books, 9,000 journals, 100,000 hard copy
reports", 500,000 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, an
online cataloging system.
The libraries are responsible for providing a wide
range of general and specialized information services to
EPA staff-and the general public. The services i-nclude:
reference - assistance, circulation, computerized
literature searches," preparation of special subject
bibliographies, access to related publications from
other Federal, academic, public and special libraries
through an . interlibrary loan program, and acquisition of
books, journals and other documents.
Three-character codes have been assigned to each of
the libraries according to geographical location, based on
the EPA regional structure, e.g., EHA. The "A" library
(last character of code) is' always'the regional library;
the "IT," "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.)
This Guide, which was prepared by the Information
Management ana Services Division, provides background on
the collections and .services available in each of the 28
libraries and indicates the hours that the libraries are
open to the public. Any questions can be directed to

In January, 1972, the Region 5 library came into being.
Much of the material housed there came from pre-EPA offices
of the -then Department of Health, Education and Welfare's
Public Health Service and the-Department of the Interior's
Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (and FWQA).
The collection consists of 12,000-15,000 documents and
reports in paper copy generated by international, Federal,
interstate, State, regional and local government agencies
and private endeavors. There, are currently about 3,150 book
titles and 350 journal subscriptions in effect. There are
some 100,000 items in microfiche. The subject areas of the
collection are water pollution,
supply, air quality, air pollution

The Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory (EMSL) is
one of the 14 national research laboratories of EPA's
Office of Research and Development. Over 200 EPA employees
and a- number of on-site contractors work at the Laboratory.
The EMSL-Las Vegas'Library was established in 1966 as part
of the Public Health Service, Southwestern Radiological
Health -Laboratory. Library materials were primarily
oriented toward nuclear science at that time.
When the EPA was created in December 1970, the laboratory
became part of the new Agency with an expanded mission for
developing monitoring techniques for a range of environ-
mental pollutants. Of special concern has been the inte-
grated sxposurG of man to chemical pollutants Lhrn-jgh ^
variety of environmental pathways. In the mid-19"70's
environmental applications of airborne remote sensing
technologies and assessments, of the environmental .impact of
energy development in the west became important programs.
The laboratory has also assumed national leadership for the
- 37 -
-------
quality assurance aspects of the Agency's hazardous waste
and pesticides programs. These newer subject areas now
make up the core of the EMSL Library collection.
The holdings include 1,030 books, 1,200 hard copy technical
reports, about 33,000 microfiche reports, and subscriptions
to more than 100 scientific journals and newspapers.

oped to encompass all other areas of environmental quality.
At present, the holdings include monographs-, 170 journal
and abstract titles, a basic environmental law collection,
EPA reports (hard copy and microfiche) and the local and
State government reports. The non-EPA portion of the col-
lection is focused mainly on materials pertinent to the

The library was established in 1966, when the Pacific
Northwest Water Laboratory of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Administration was opened. Thus, the emphasis was
on marine, estuarine and fresh water quality. Since the
creation of EPA, however, the laboratory's responsibilities
and library collection have been broadened to include the
areas of air, wetlands, non-point sources, cold climate,
pesticides, energy-related research and acid precipitation
effects.
Approximately 143 journal titles are received regularly.
These are supplemented by a collection of books, as well as
reports from FederaJ, State, local and international
sources. Microfiche and microfilm are used to enlarge the
holdings in a small space.
The library conducts computerized literature searches and
.procures translations, patents and other special materials.
Interlibrary loans are processed with EPA and other Govern-
ment agencies, as well as major libraries throughout the
United States.
The Corvallis Laboratory is one of 14 major research facil-
ities of EPA's Office of Research and Development.

Periodical and report literature and reference materials
are selected to support CERL research, which includes
general responsibilities in the areas of terrestrial
ecology, watershed ecology, and multimedia effects assess-

ducts research programs in air .pollution effects, toxics
and pesticide effects (terrestrial), contaminated environ-
ments (assessment and restoration), and ecosystems .(classi-
fication and assessment). The library also collects all
EPA reports and other Agency publications, much of which
is on microfiche.
Services are provided ^primarily to the EPA staff. EPA
