Abstract

Technical information services which match the needs of the air pollution control community are now being provided. EPA studied alternatives for one month before settling on this new approach which relies on a multiplicity of existing technical information services. A file of more than 82, 000 abstracts was transferred from EPA's computer and information retrieval system in Research Triangle Park, NC, to those of Lockheed in Palo Alto, CA. That file is being built at the new rate of 2500–4000 abstracts per year. EPA may resume publication of an abstract bulletin from that file and other files which contain the needed information. A quarterly catalog of all EPA reports, including those on air pollution, is for sale at NTIS. EPA is sponsoring literature searches from multiple files for an exclusive clientele. EPA's offices may make the abstracted documents accessible at their locations nationwide. Both personnel reductions and cost savings were achieved. The new computer and information retrieval system is satisfactory.
