New
Topics Indexed

With each new edition, new environmental information categories are
identified and indexed. The 2007 Edition is no different with 13 new indexed
topics of Environmental Biotechnology, Forensics, Nanotechnology, Natural
Disaster Management, and Energy Management areas of Biogas, Biomass, Ethanol
and Bio-Diesel, Solar, Wave and Wind. New categories will continue to be added
to the existing 400+ Index categories as new issues, concerns and priorities
evolve into environmental prominence.

More
Than an Index—An Idea Source
| The EPPIC INDEX is more than an organized listing of journal articles
and conference papers. It is an information and idea source without reviewing
the actual articles themselves. Review of the listed topics and articles
offers ideas of what has been done, who has done it, and new environmental
directions that are taking shape.
|
|
Uses and
applications of the Eppic Index are practically without limit. A few examples include:
|
|
1.Businesses:
With constant change in products, environmental effects, public
perceptions, and regulatory requirements, the Eppic Index offers a means to
weigh these issues and to gain knowledge of directions, trends, and practices
within – and external to – a given industry;
|
|
2.Universities:
Faculties and students will find the Eppic Index a quicker way to
access, or take a first glance at the wealth of environmental material in
print in university libraries (and beyond in many cases);
|
3.Consultants:
Why not look beyond experience, professional organizations and
company-to-company information to find and apply ideas beyond traditional data
sources for innovating designs, projects and management directions;
|
|
4.Equipment
Manufacturers and Suppliers: What greater and easier way to determine work
completed by others in, or as relates to , your product field? Where better to
find those invaluable case histories;
|
|
5. Government:
Decision makers who take actions and set policies often
have less access to available information upon which to base actions and
policy making than those affected by those decisions and policies. The Eppic
Index offers a quick way to draw upon the experiences and directions of
others, so as to formulate reasonable and workable actions;
|
|
6.Local Utilities:
Water, sewer and solid waste managers, why not look beyond your specific
publications and trade or professional associations for information in your
respective management areas? Case histories, how-to reports and successful
management initiatives abound, but often don’t reach those who can benefit;
|
|
7.Associations:
What better way to keep tabs on materials and activities of member and
external entities? Why not offer this resource database to your members and
stimulate ideas of service to your membership? Many of you are linked
in the Eppic Index to credit your information dissemination accomplishments
through journals and conferences;
|
|
8.The Public: Need
information about an environmental issue? The Eppic Index is a roadmap to what
is in print and to its location;
|
|
9. Law Firms: Need
technical information for a client or a case? Here are directions to critical
facts and information not in legal referencing sources;
|
|
10. Publishers and
Conference Sponsors: Why not have your journals and conferences included
in a master general user index? Better yet, why not offer article and papers
through online subscriptions to members and to libraries since much conference
material has extremely limited access;
|
|
11.Training
Organizations: The Eppic Index is a useful and informative reference in
training packets, and is available in discounts for quantity purchases. Why
not be trendsetter in providing this information to your training
constituents, to show your connectivity to information databases and to be of
service beyond your competition;
|
|
12. International:
Although the U.S. does not have all of the recognized journals and
conferences, it does have many with potential applications of information to
your respective countries. At a price within the reach of practically any
university, researcher, government, or business in any country, the Eppic
Index could be invaluable to your accessing of environmental information.
|
|
Services to users include
an offer of look-up assistance by going to the website, bi-monthly updates of
new material on the website, frequently asked questions, a means to ask
individual questions, and the opportunity to offer input of how to provide
better service. Including journals and conferences in the Eppic Environmental
