dical research and toxicology testing. This bibliography is produced from MEDLARS database searches, performed and analyzed by subject experts from the Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) of the Specialized Information Services Division (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
- Covers 1980s to present.
- AltWeb (http://altweb.jhsph.edu/)
- The Alternatives to Animal Testing website was created to serve as a gateway to alternatives news, information, and resources. Altweb is also now the U.S. home of the journal ALTEX: Alternatives to Animal Experimentation, which is the official publication of the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (http://caat.jhsph.edu/) (CAAT)
- ANZCCART (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/ANZCCART/) – Australian and New Zealand Council for the Care of Animals in Research and Teaching.
- Many useful resources including Fact Sheets, Newsletters, and publications.
- Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (http://www.fao.org/fi/asfa/asfa.asp) (ASFA)
- Includes information on the science, technology and management of marine, freshwater, and brackish water environments and organisms. Database consists of the following subfiles: ASFA 1: Biological Sciences and Living Resources; ASFA 2: Ocean Technology, Policy and Non-Living Resources; ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution and Environmental Quality; ASFA Aquaculture Abstracts; and ASFA Marine Biotechnology Abstracts.
- Covers 1970s to present.
- AWI (http://www.awionline.org/)
- Comfortable Quarters (http://labanimals.awionline.org/pubs/cq02/cqindex.html).
- Provides access to several focused databases, including primate enrichment, lab animal refinement, rodent and rabbit enrichment, and species-specific housing and handling recommendations.
- BIOSIS (http://www.biosis.org/)
- All life science areas, including agriculture, biochemistry, biomedicine, biotechnology, botany, ecology, environmental sciences, genetics, microbiology, veterinary medicine & pharmacology. Indexes over 6000 journals, serials and conference proceedings. 1969-present
- CAB (http://www.cabi.org/)
- Citations and abstracts to the international agricultural literature, including veterinary medicine, human and animal nutrition, rural development, as well as other related topics such as tourism and human ecology.
- Covers over 11,000 journals & conference proceedings and selected books in agriculture, 1972-present.
- CCAC (http://www.ccac.ca/en/CCAC_Main.htm)
- CCAC is the national organization responsible for setting and maintaining standards for the care and use of animals in research, teaching and testing throughout Canada.
- CRIS (http://cris.csrees.usda.gov/) – Current Research Information System
- The USDA's documentation and reporting system for ongoing and recently completed research and education projects in agriculture, food and nutrition, and forestry.
- DTIC (http://www.dtic.mil/) – Defense Technical Information Center
- Provider of DoD technical information. DTIC links information among DoD personnel, DoD contractors and potential contractors and other U.S. Government agency personnel and their contractors.
- ECVAM (http://ecvam.jrc.it/index.htm)
- Promotes the scientific and regulatory acceptance of non-animal tests which are of importance to biomedical sciences through research, test development and validations and the establishment of a specialized database service (http://ecvam-sis.jrc.it/cover/index_information.html). It is the leading international centre for coordinating the validation of alternative methods, providing advice on theoretical and practical aspects of the validation of new tests, the current state of validation of alternative methods for use in toxicology and the biosciences in general, in vitro test for topical toxicity, embryotoxicity, haematotoxicity, metabolism-mediated toxicity, metal toxicity, neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, and general animal welfare issues (scientific and ethical), such as the use of transgenic animals.
