Bill Walker provides some VERY good resources for identifying environmental information. As he states this is one of the funcitons of libraries--help people find information.
The American Library Association has about 66,000 members. The Special Libraries Association has about 15,000 members. AT BEST their will be 150 librarians attending special programs held by ALA's Task Force on the Environment or SLA's Environment and Resource Management Division at their annual meetings. We look at 50+ librarians attending an Open House/Tour of an EPA Library or Information Center as a great success.
While these efforts are EXTREMELY important in establishing and maintaining close relationships between the EPA Library Network and other libraries, these relationships do not generally get translated into relations between other EPA Offices and libraries, with two notable exceptions (of which I am aware): Carolyn Offut's interactions from the EPA Superfund program and Randy Brinkhuis partcipating from the EPA's OPPT (pollution prevention, pesticides, and toxic substances).
