                       Library Network Communications
 Plotting a Course for the '90s

 by Jonda Byrd
    It is time for the EPA Library Network to look ahead into
 the 90s and plan where we go from here. We have laid a firm
 foundation with our past strategies and our  network
 infrastructure but we need to look beyond these to decide
 where we want to be in 5 years. Clearly, the goals and
 objectives of the EPA will  play a major part in this
 determination as we will always align our goals with them.

    Through partnerships with program offices, we have an
 opportunity as information providers to establish new services
 and products that will assist the EPA in meeting these goals.
 We need to implement the latest information science technol-
 ogy such as CD-Roms, online catalogs and library systems
 on the LANs and be available as consultants to the programs
 in the development of their information systems.

    In talking to the EPA Librarians around the network, I am
 constantly aware of the vast knowledge and expertise  in
 identifying and searching databases. Ourinputinthe planning
 and development stage can be a valuable source of information
 in the design of user interfaces and in the plans for dissemi-
 nating the final product.

    We need to look at collection development to insure that
 the needs of our clients are being met. We need to utilize our
 resources to the fullest, sharing information in products such
 as the EPA Journal Holdings  List, OCLC, and the Online
 Library System (OLS), making sure that the even the small
 collections are entered into these systems and are
 accessible. And of course we must make our clients aware
 of our collections, services and expertise through marketing
 and outreach activities.

    As we plan for the future, I am looking forward to working
 with the network in implementing new services and products,
 developing strategies, investigating new technologies and
 sharing the knowledge arid expertise of the EPA Librarians.
  Publications Clearinghouse:

  An Interview with William J. Bailey,
  Deputy Director, Office of Administration and
  Resources Management (OARM)-Cincinnati.

  Q  We are hearing rumors about a Publications
  Clearinghouse inCincinnati. Can you tell us about it?

  A  Actually, OARM-Cincinnati  has operated a central
  forms and publications distribution center for most of the
  Agency since the early 80's. Bill Henderson, OARM
  Director, wanted to modernize the operations and improve
  the level of client services. He  talked with quite  a few
  attendees at the last Library Conference in Cincinnati and
  many of the clients who use this service. He  received
  many good ideas on how to upgrade for the 90's. Bill put
  together a full time OARM project team to work on this
  initiative. The team has visited numerous distribution
  centers around the country, operated by other Federal
  agencies, in order to get more ideas on how to improve
  the operation.

  During this same timef rame the problems of printing and
  distrfoutingEPApublications to NTISandGPO depository
  libraries became  a hot issue in the Agency. It became
  apparent that others in the Agency were also working on
  different phases of the overall process that creates and
  distributes publications in EPA. For example, Daiva Balkus
  and Brigid Rapp, Office of Information Resources
  Management (OIRM), were working on the PICs and the
  larger issue of public access to EPA printed information.
  Charles Osolin and Miles Allen, Office of Communica-
  tions and Public Affairs (OCPA), were working to create
  a master inventory and catalog of Agency publications.
  The decentralized nature of the whole process of creating
  and disseminating printed information outside of EPA

     space planning experiences in Regions 1 and 7 (seepage 6), and at the Public Information Center

 made this a formidable undertaking for
 all. Somewhere along the line, OARM-
 Cincinnati,   the  Office  of  the
 Administrator, OIRM andOCPAformed
 a confederation to assess this problem
 on an Agency-wide basis and to create
 a plan for the future. The Publications
 Clearinghouse is the outgrowth of their
 efforts.

 Q  What is  the goal/mission of the
 Publications Clearinghouse?

 A  In the late 80's Calvin Lawrence,
 Director, Center for Environmental
 Research Information (CERI) and his
 staff worked with OARM to develop an
 automated inventory and ordering
 system for Office of Research  and
 Development (ORD) publications. This
 system was the backbone of  the
 Cincinnati  publications distribution
 operation for the Agency, but its full
 capacity wasn't being utilized.

 OARM demonstrated this system to
 OIRM and OCPA and it was agreed
that the system was  substantially

   ANDERSON Incorporated

   Please send your comments
       and suggestions to:

     Coordinator (PM211A)

 capable (with some added bells and
 whistles)  of becoming the master
 inventory and cataloging system that
 OCPA  needed. It also was able to
 serve as a centralized ordering network
 for PIC's regions, EPA libraries, and
 program offices.

 While this is still in the early stages and
 is being piloted  at the Washington
 PIC,  the system creates a network
 within EPA where publications can be
 printed and stored in one central
 location but orders to ship publications
 can be entered  by anyone on  the
 network. For  example, a  PIC can
 maintain a minimum inventory (saving
 valuable space) but can have access
 to the  entire  agency inventory  of
 publications. The PIC can search the
 system and then enter an order for a
 publication directly into the system.
 The Cincinnati Clearinghouse will
 receive the order immediately and
 react to the shipping directions.

 We would envision the EPA libraries
 and program offices finding this
 network to be a valuable tool to
 enhance their ability to manage public
 access to EPA printed materials. It will
 certainly minimize the search time
 and response time forgetting printed
 materials in the public's hands.

 So the mission  of  the Cincinnati
 Clearinghouse is to maintain the
 inventory system, the inventory, and
 the network to access  the inventory
 from any point in the Agency.

 Q  This sounds good, but will it work?

 A  Yes, it's not as futuristic as it may
 sound.  CERI has been using this
 system for  several years and it has
 been  tested from  various  locations
 around  EPA. The system  definitely
works and the bugs have been worked
out over the last several years.

The potential value of the system and
its network, though, is  a function of
how well we can get all the EPA players
to buy into the network. This network
Cf>n permit  Agency consolidation of
pnnted materials without interfering
 with a program's management and
 control over its own publications. I
 fact, the network is a tool for programs
 to better-manage theirown inventories
 and  public  access  to  printed
 information, tt will also give the Agency
 the ability to catalog the universe of
 Agency publications available to the
 public. Many programs in EPA are
 already part of this system. We'd like
 to get the entire Agency on the system.
 Only then will the full potential be
 utilized.

 Q  What are the next steps?

 A  OARM, OIRM, and OCPA will
 continue to work together to further
 define and develop the framework to
 implement  the  Clearinghouse
 operation throughout EPA.

 There are still  many nuts and bolts
 issues  to  work on and we will be
 reaching out to the various  stake-
 holders in EPA to help us to refine this
 program. There are issue such as a
 common  Agency  publications
 numbering system; and the Agency
 master  catalog/inventory that will
 require all the  players to meet and
 arrive on a consensus approval.

 By late summer we will be setting up
 meetings and will invite all the key
 players in the Agency to join us in
 addressing these common concerns
 and issues. These are issues that we
 as an Agency need to address and
 manage in order to meet the public
 access demands for printed materials
 in the '90s.

    Planning a New Public Information Center  (PIC)
The Public Information Center's move to new space provides a good example of the space planning and
design process. The planning team for the project systematically worked through the process, defining
priorities, negotiating a budget, and most importantly, communicating and cooperating with several
administrative offices within the Agency. Mary Hoffman conducted an informal interview with Deborah
Ross, Manager of the National Public Access Program, and Kevin Rosseel, Director of PIC. Their
conversation is summarized in the following article.
                                                              Program involvment, automation and
                           of the Headquarters facility to locate    work efficiency. IMSD plans to further
                           space that could be accessed by the    automate the work environment,
                           public. Access from the streel  level    including referral  and publication
                           corresponds to the PIC's new strategy
                           of  providing  easy  access to
                           environmental information.
    The  Information Management
 and Services Division  (IMSD) is
 committed  to  public access to
 environmental information. A visible
 illustration of this commitment is the
 planned relocation of the Public
 Information Center (PIC)  to street
 level space at Headquarters allowing
 much better visibility and access. The
 move is tentatively scheduled for
 FalH99l.

    PIC's focus  has always been
 public access, and the concept has
 become increasingly important to the
 Agency as a whole. PIC is a valuable
 source  of non-technical  Agency
 information. It also provides referrals
 for technical information when
 appropriate.  IMSD is confident  that
 the new location, enhanced visibility,
 and increased public environmental
 services and information will result in
 significant increases in public access.

    A new strategy for PIC is being
 dratted to take advantage of the new
 space. The space has been planned
 with an  eye  on new and expanded
 functions.  In other words, the plans
 will reshape PIC's physical and
 philosophical layout.  PIC staff is
 always  searching   for more non-
 technical titles  to  add to PIC's
 inventory, and they would  like to
 expand their role of soliciting and  dis-
 seminating appropriate non-  techni-
cal titles from all EPA programs.

    Plans  for the new PIC space
support the Agency's public  access
program by providing study carrels,
audiovisual equipment, topic-oriented
or program specific displays, online
and CD-ROM access,  and a small
auditorium. IMSD conducted a serach
tracking processes.
                              Personnel from a number  of
                           offices participated in planning for the
                           new space, including staff from IMSD
                           and PIC, PCMD, Facilities, Telecom-
                           munications,  Audiovisual, architects
                           planning  the  Agency's  new
                           Headquarters building, and others. The
                           cooperative effort represents a model
                           "total quality  management" (TQM)
                           project.
                                     The new PIC
                                       reflects
                                    the increased
                                     emphasis on
                                    public access.
                              The blueprints for the new space
                           provide a large public area which will
                           include  a reception  desk, study
                           carrels, anddisplays. In addition, there
                           is a 25-30 seat auditorium adjacent to
                           the public area. There will be 60%
                           more shelving space for publications.
                           PIC will continue its close coordination
                           with the  EPA Publications Clearing-
                           house in Cincinnati to manage the bulk
                           of its inventory and large publication
                           requests.

                              The planning process is precipi-
                           tating discussion about several related
                           issues such as telecommunications,
    PIC is hoping to participate in the
Agency's new Green Lights Program,
which encourages industry to introduce
new energy-efficient lighting. The
Program is  part of the Agency's
general pollution prevention effort.

     In the new PIC there will be
increased shelf space for newly
identified publications. In addition PIC
will continue to assist program offices
in their efforts to educate the public
about  environmental  issues. The
auditorium and special displays will
assist in this effort, and improve PIC's
visibility with EPA staff. Interactive
video displays about the Agency are
planned for the public area of PIC.

    The IMSD staff would like to
rename PIC  in light of its new and
improved visibility. If you have any
inspirations about a new name for PIC,
please share them with Deborah Ross,
at FTS 475-7705, or Kevin Rosseel at

Spaced Out?

Need Some Help?

    One of the most important work-
place issues is the relationship between
people and their physical environment
orwork space. In libraries the physical
environment must include "user-
friendly space;" space that is designed
for optimum user convenience as well
as maximum staff work efficiency.

    Because there is a constant drive
to improve  collections and expand
services, libraries tend to outgrow their
facilities. Some libraries face the issue
of space redesign or moving  more
often than others. Most libraries are
challenged by the desire to adopt new
computer-based services and integrate
them with traditional  services. The
following are  some  of the most
common reasons for the redesign of
space:

  A Growth in the user population.
  A Growth in the collection(s).
  A Desire to unite collections in split
     locations.
  A Multiple or confusing patron
     access points.
  A Implementation of new
     technology.
  A Space "reclaimed" by
     organization for other uses.
  A New facility.

    No matter what the reason for the
change, planning is key to the efficient
use of space. In many cases the staff
does not need and can not afford to
hire a design expert or consultant to do
the  planning.  Common sense,
practical consideration of library func-
tions, and creative  thinking can be
provided by the library staff.

    Space planning involves compro-
mises between the  requirements of
users and the  requirements of the
library staff. Staff should consider the
use of library statistics to analyze
library use when making  decisions
about compromises.
                Continued on page 5
The following checklist outlines key issues you will need to consider when
redesigning existing space or planning for new space.

/ Light -  Is there adequate lighting in the stacks, study areas, staff, and
service areas? Are computer terminals or microform readers affected by glare
from the windows?

/ Noise - Are the study areas located in low-noise areas? How much
noise and distraction will be generated by the flow of traffic?

S Temperature - Is a moderate temperature maintained in all weather?

/ Ventilation - Is there a good supply of fresh air?

/ User Access to Materials - Do users have easy access to the library
catalog, indexes and various parts of the collection(s)?

/ Signs - Are signs for the collections and service areas clear and legible?

/ Staff Work Areas - Does the staff have adequate space to work
efficiently? Are personal work spaces separated from service areas?

/Equipment- Is there room around photocopiers and printers for routine
maintenance such as adding paper, toner, etc. ? Is user-operated equipment
within line of sight of appropriate staff members?

/ Furniture - is it functional? coordinated? Does it fit the space?

/ Electricity, Telecommunications, Computer Links -Are there
enough outlets and connections convenient to equipment in staff and service
areas? Any special terminal or workstation considerations?

/ Floor size - Are there adequate aisles in the stacks, through study areas
and service areas? Are you efficiently using all available space?

/ Traffic  Patterns - Do the aisles and walkways connect collections
and service areas in a logical layout? Are there straight paths from the staff
areas to the service areas and collections?

/ Security - Do you have any materials that need special protection? Do
you need to plan space that is "off limits" to users?

/ Collection Arrangement - Are the collections located in a consistent
manner? Are similar collections adjacent or contiguous? Can any collections
be integrated?

/ Floor weight-bearing capacity - Do book stacks have to be placed
in certain areas because of their weight? •

The Planning Process

    The process of planning or rede-
signing space does not have to be a
traumatic experience for library staff,
but their support and cooperation are
essential.  Following are some basic
guidelines for space planning:

    A  List the goals to be accom-
plished by the design/redesign of the
space. Take advantage of the changes
to improve  library operations and
services.

    A  Schedule working sessions
with staff to identify issues and brain-
storm solutions. Ask staff to do time
budgets and/or behavioral diaries.

    A  Assess  existing needs.  A
working plan can be developed only
when   needs   are   understood.
Calculate variables such as the amount
of available space and how it is being
used, how full the shelves are, and the
use of tables versus study carrels. The
results of the assessment can be used
as a baseline for projecting future needs
and measuring  the effects of facility
changes for the years ahead.

    A  Project future needs. Estimate
collection growth and consider options
forthe control of future growth, i.e. new
purchases in microform; no duplicate
hardcopy subscriptions held on shelf,
cooperative acquisitions, and different
shelving  configurations,such as
movable or compressed shelving.

    A  Develop scale drawings  of
existing interior space.  Sketch layout
alternatives on graph paper or cut out
shapes of furniture and equipment and
try different floor plan arrangements.

    A  Review plans with staff, then
revise if necessary. The input of the
staff is  extremely important in the
planning process.

    A  Develop plan  outlining the
action  items  implementing the
changes.
Final Thoughts

    Good library space planning rec-
ognizes how people use the library.
The planning  team  should try to
determine the most efficient way to
use the library, and develop a design
based on that information. The  nov-
ice or casual library user should be
able to approach and  recognize ser-
vice areas and easily locate library
resources. It is important that plans
avoid excessive walking distances
and confusing arrangements; keep
clutter to a minimum.

    Library  staff  should  plan for
"sufficient reading  and  printing
equipment  that is  properly and
promptly serviced." Staff members
must be trained to use equipment and
be committed to service. If the equip-
ment can not be placed in line of sight
of library staff, there  must be clear
signs indicating where the  user can
get assistance.

    It may be useful to visit other
libraries and observe their layouts,
but keep in mind that each library
environment is unique, and the needs
of the users and staff at one facility
will be different from those of the
users and staff at another facility. •
      Space Stats

The following are some commonly
stated guidelines that appear in the
library literature.

Book-stack capacity: 12.5 volumes
per square foot. Stacks take up an
average of 60% of space in libraries

Shelf capacity:
       75%-full working capacity.
       86%-crisis.
       90%»shelves unusable.

Average thickness of a book:  1.33
inches or 1/9 of a linear foot.

Aisle width: 30" adequate for func-
tional  purposes; 1981 ANSI stan-
dard is 36" - to accomodate wheel-
chairs.

Reader stations: plan one 30 sq ft
carrel/table spot for  every fourth
user. Microform station: Plan one
per each 2000 volumes on film.
Online catalog: One workstation for
each 100 daily users. •

 Space: The Final Frontier:
  Boston and Kansas City
 This article recounts space planning
 experience in two Regional libraries,
 the Region 1 and  Region 7.  Peg
 Nelson and Barb MacKinnon provide
 timely and valuable tips based on re-
 cent events relating to their libraries.

 Region 1 Library, Boston,
 Peg Nelson

    The Region 1 library moved into
 a new facility in August 1990. The
 move combined the law library with
 the main library, and has a 70 foot wall
 of interior windows providing natural
 light. Peg Nelson, the Head Librarian/
 Coordinator, prepared the plans for
 the new space, based on the library's
 functions and  services, and  user
 access to the materials. She consulted
 with the Office of Regional Counsel
 about the law materials that would be
 located within the new space.

    The placement of various parts of
 the collection was  based on  user
 needs. For  example, the most
 commonly used reference  materials
 were placed in close proximity to the
 reference desk, and the workstations
 in that area were planned to be visible
 from the desk. The law materials were
 placed at the  furthest point from the
 front door of the library so that  staff
 using them would be least disturbed.
 Special attention was given to the
 amount of walking  required by  staff
 and users between different parts of
 the library.

    Another important consideration
 was that  the library layout be as
 aesthetically pleasing as practical and
 efficient. Peg planned to leave some
open spacesto make a user-friendly
appearance. On the one wall  with
windows, she placed low shelving so
as not to block the  light. The library
had a combination of wood and metal
shelving, and new wooden end panels
for the metal shelving gave them a
coordinated appearance.	
    Between the time the floor plans
 were   submitted  and the space
 constructed, two doors and one wall were
 moved, necessitating some changes in
 the location  of  workstations and
 shelving. The builder failed to  reinforce
 the floor, which resulted in extra work for
 the library staff. While movers shifted
 parts of the collection to redistribute the
 weight by adjusting the height of the
 shelves from 8 to 6 feet and widening the
 aisles,  library staff orchestrated  the
 arrangement and  reread the shelves
 three times.

    The staff found that sunlight from the
 windows  produced a glare on the
 computer screens, so the placement of
 the terminals had to be adjusted. The staff
 had to work without phones for the first
 six weeks. They had voicemail but  no
 telecommunications connections. They
 had to go to another floor to make phone
 calls or conduct online searching.

    Following are some space planning
 tips based on her recent experience.

    /  Start  planning  as early  as
 possible. Peg was first asked for input on
 locating electrical and telephone lines
 just 2 hours after learning the space and
 shape allocated for the library. Her advice
 was that the sooner you know the basic
 shape and amount of space, the sooner
 you can begin planning.

    S  Try to get access to the space
 prior to the move. For example, you may
 need to measure the space for shelving.
 Sometimes blueprints and floor plans do
 not provide information on the scale that
 you need.  Inches were critical in some
 spaces between support columns.

    /  Allow room for growth on the
 shelves, if  possible.  Leave  room for
working  space or short-term storage in
 out of the way comers.

  giorv 1 Library was moved in three
  long days using rolling carts. It was
  then  accessible,  although some
  shelf-reading was  needed through-
  out the collection. Mark designated
  new  shelf locations on current
  shelves and oversee the relocation
  of materials by movers to diminish
  errors. It takes tongerto unpack and
  arrange materials thanto pack them.

     /  Be aware of the shelf
  configuration, i.e.  single-faced vs.
  double-faced shelving.

     /  Consider high-density
  shelving, and different shelf heights
  for materials to make the most
  efficient use of the space.

     /  If you have a choice, locate
  the library in close proximity to other
  Agency services.

  Region 7 Library, Kansas City,
  Barbara MacKinnon

     A  few  months ago   Barb
  MacKinnon conducted a survey to
 find out how much  space had been
 allocated to libraries throughout the
 Network, and whether or not the
 library collections included law
 materials, as the Region 7 library
 does.  The information was used as
 a basis for beginning discussions
 with the Assistant Regional Admin-
 istrator and the library manager on
 the need for increased space for the
 Region 7 library.

    The library staff  is tentatively
 planning to move to new space in
 early 1992. The new space  will be
 on the same floor in the existing
 facility, near the lunchroom. They
 hope to take advantage  of traffic
 in   that  area of  the facility.  If
 possible,  they  will install  glass
 walls  to  increase their visibility to
 Regional staff.

 Space from page 6

     In order to make more room for
  workspace for the library staff, they
  hope to move the law collection to
  another part  of the facility,  annex
  space from adjacent offices,  and
  possibly convert parts of the collec-
  tion into microform. 4-

 updates provide the name of the  bill,
 sponsors, a brief summary of the bill
 and related bills. In addition, a bill status

 CD-ROM and MAC News....
A  PESTBANK
The EPA Library Network will be
receiving a free CD-ROM subscription
to SilverPlatter-s PESTBANK. This
subscription  should  begin  in
September and is made possible by
the efforts of John McCarthy, Office
of  Pesticide  Programs  (OPP).
PESTBANK is  a  commercial  CD-
ROM database containing pesticide
information from OPP and other
sources. This subscription  will not
include a CD-ROM  reader, those
libraries that do not currently have a
CD-ROM reader should consider
purchasing one, possibly with year-
end funds.
A  The Source
Several of the librarians have asked
about the update  schedule for The
Source. Mary Hoffman asked The
Source's source, Bob Tumbull, from
the Management  and  Organization
Division, OARM for a status report on
this database. He said that there is a
quarterly update of The Source coming
out mid-July and  his office will be
updating the libraries. The last update
was March 1991. If any of you did not
receive the March update, contact Mary
Hoffman at FTS 475-7762, or Bob
Tumbull at FTS 245-4109. •
