Notification of Closure of the EPA Headquarters Library



AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).



ACTION: Notice.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------



SUMMARY: The EPA Headquarters Library will close its doors to walk-in 

patrons and visitors on October 1, 2006. This notice provides 

information regarding how members of the public can access EPA 

documents held in the Headquarters Repository Library collection and in 

electronic format.



FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Tumarkin, Mailcode 2843T, Office 

of Environmental Information, Information Access Division, 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC 20460; telephone number: (202) 566-0681; e-mail address: 

Tumarkin.Jeff@epa.gov.





SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The trend in recent years has shown a shift 

in the ways that people request and receive library services from EPA. 

With more material available online and electronically, EPA has found 

that its employees and the public are finding the materials they need 

from EPA's web site and they are requesting more information 

electronically. In addition, with tighter security at Federal 

facilities, the public's physical visits to the EPA Headquarters 

Library have been declining. These trends, in addition to reductions in 

the library's FY07 budget, suggested to EPA that it needed to use 

information technology to improve its delivery of library services to 

EPA and public patrons. Library services for EPA staff and the public 

will be maintained as detailed in the new EPA Library Network National 

Framework which is available online at http://www.epa.gov/natlibra/.



    Beginning October 1, 2006, the EPA Headquarters Library, located in 

Room 3340 in the EPA West Building, located at 1301 Constitution Ave., 

NW., Washington, DC, will become one of three EPA repositories for 

paper copies of EPA documents, reports and publications. The other two 

repositories will be located at the EPA-RTP Library, 109 T.W. Alexander 

Drive, Durham, NC 27711, and at the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental 

Research Center, 26 W. Martin Luther King Dr., Cincinnati, OH 45268. 

Public access to EPA's valuable documents collections continues to be a 

critical mission of the EPA Libraries. Thousands of EPA documents and 

reports can be accessed in full-text electronic format through the 

National Environmental Publications Information System (NEPIS) at 

http://nepis.epa.gov/ Members of the public can also search for EPA documents in the libraries' catalog at http://www.epa.gov/natlibra/.



ols.htm. Once items of interest are identified, they can be borrowed 

via interlibrary loan thru participating institutions. The public will 

continue to have access to environmental information thru the EPA 

Regional Libraries remaining open http://www.epa.gov/natlibra/libraries.htm

.



    The answers to many questions about EPA and its activities can be 

found in the Agency's Frequently Asked Questions database which can 

searched online at http://publicaccess.custhelp.com/. Additionally, the 



public will continue to have access to comprehensive environmental 

information via the EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov.
