EPA continues to dismantle libraries

A May 2 press release from Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER)reports that the EPA has directed its libraries to continue to dismantle their collections and dispose of the contents. The EPA claims that there will be no harm to the accessibility of EPA information because all of the information will be made available online. The libraries' dismantling has been formally opposed by the AALL (American Assn. of Law Libraries), SLA (Special Library Assn.), ALA (American Library Assn.), and ARL (Assn. of Research Libraries).

The PEER press release contains links to more information about the situation.
