EPA's Vision for Library Services
EPA’s vision is to be the premier environmental library network providing timely access to information and library services to its employees and the public. EPA’s approach to achieving this vision involves maintaining a strong network of physical libraries enhanced with online tools to expand access to environmental information. This enhanced model provides more library materials electronically and on the EPA Web site with increased accessibility to environmental information and increased efficiency by which employees and the public can find the materials they need.
