- Abstract
- In Cincinnati in September 1972, at the Environmental Protection Agency's Information Symposium, several thousand participants heard several dozen speakers spend the better part of two days discussing sources of environmental information. I learned at that conference that there is little need to detail the number of sources that exist, and a great need to clarify how those sources can be discovered, evaluated and best used. I will limit my discussion to environmental information services offered by the private sector, and emphasize how others can be found and best used. The discussion will include: 1. The importance of objective setting: defining the kind of information that is needed (and not needed). 2. A candid description of secondary publications such as directories, and environmental abstracting and current awareness services. 3. Use of automated searches and machine-readable data bases. 4. Four appendices are included which cover: environmental directories; environment abstracting and indexing services; information centers and systems services offered; and environmental journals (compiled by Mike Bowen of Environmental Science and Technology).
