NEIC's Environmental Forensic Library is
the only enforcement-specific library in EPA.
The library partners with NEIC scientists
and engineers to retrieve, validate, and deliver
information to develop methods, defensible
regulations, and environmental measurements.
About NEIC
NEIC is an environmental forensic center accredited
for environmental data measurement activities.
NEIC is a division in the EPAs Office of Criminal
Enforcement Forensics and Training. NEIC works
closely with our enforcement partners on a variety
of criminal and civil enforcement investigations.
NEIC's main partner in criminal investigations is
the Criminal Investigations Division, and in civil
investigations we partner with various enforcement
components of the ten EPA regional offices.
NEIC is a Division of the Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance (OECA), Office of Criminal
Enforcement, Forensics Training (OCEFT).
The library is available to the public on a pre-

EPA's National Library Network
The Library participates in the EPA Library Net-
work. The Network provides resources, such as,
the Desktop Library, ASTM standards online and
other services that
support all agency
employees. All EPA
libraries help each
other by sharing
expertise, books and
journals.

The NEIC
Library has
accounts with
database pro-
viders Dialog
and STN.
To minimize
costs associ-
ated with use,
we search
these databas-
es only when
necessary.
STN provides
Chemical Abstracts for searching:
CAS Registry Numbers
CA Index names and commonly used chemical
names and trade names
Molecular formulas
Structure diagrams
Sequence data
Alloy composition tables
Experimental and predicted property data and tags
Spectra
Lists of databases and regulatory listings contain-
ing information on substances
Chemical Abstracts is the authoritative source
for CAS Registry Numbers and must be searched
when Registry Numbers are questioned, or when a
substance needs to be identified for other reasons.
Usually the chemist and librarian work side-by-
side during the search of
Chemical Abstracts.
NEIC librar-
ians are skilled
in searching
scientific lit-
erature, com-
pany and people
information, and
many other areas.
We specialize in locat-
ing information that requires
advanced and unique search methodologies.
