Contents Notes |
"The closing of several libraries administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has raised numerous issues. The President's FY2007 budget included a $2.5 million reduction for EPA's libraries, $2.0 million of which was attributed mainly to these closures. EPA reports that the closings are part of its efforts to restructure its libraries to respond to the increasing use of the Internet to access its collections. Although EPA plans to digitize certain materials, some items may be archived or discarded."--Page 1. |
