National Environmental Information Symposium: An Agenda for Progress. Papers and Reports, Volume 2.

The purpose of the symposium, sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, was to outline and clarify the difficulties of interchanging information in the myriad forms now available, to present the user of environmental information with a review of the services available, their location, accessibility, and cost, and to describe some of the solutions already being formulated. All general sessions addresses, most working session papers, and forum session reports are contained here. Working sessions were structured in four categories: scientific and technical; legal, legislative and regulatory; management and planning; and socioeconomic. Information services covered in each of the categories includes information and data centers, publications, and document services and referral activities. (BL)
