World Wide Web Resources
 

Because World Wide Web Resources are most easily accessed via computer, this listing will mainly include web

 addresses of sites that serve as clearinghouses for specific topics. Selected web sites from universities that provide

 comprehensive listings of institutional policies, guidelines, and forms are also included. Other web sites may be found

 in each chapter; organizational websites will be found in the Organizations chapter. 

Altweb 

http://altweb.jhsph.edu/ 

Altweb is a site for news, information, discussion, and resources from the field of alternatives to 

animal testing. This site is a collaborative effort funded by the Alternatives Research & Development Foundation, the

 Doerenkamp - Zbinden Foundation, the Humane Society of the United States, the Office for Protection from Research

 Risks at the National Institutes of Health, and the Procter & Gamble Company. It is being developed by the Center for

 Alternatives to Animal Testing at Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with the Altweb Project Team, to serve

 academic, industrial and government scientists, educators, the media, and the general public. 

Altweb is intended to foster the development of scientifically acceptable in vitro and other alternatives to animal

 testing. Alternatives are defined as methods which reduce animal use, replace whole animal tests, or refine existing

 tests by minimizing animal distress. 

Need help locating alternatives databases or funding sources? Check out Science & Regulations. Want to learn about

 the latest software and other computer resources available for your junior high? See Educational Resources. Want to

ILAR Journal is the quarterly, peer-reviewed publication of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR),

 which is a unit of the National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences. ILAR Journal provides thoughtful

 online version of the journal and many back issues; a searchable index is available. 

IACUC Training and Learning Consortium (IACUC TLC) 

http://www.iacuc.org/ 

Few people know it, but the idea for this site was first proposed by Ken Boschert several years ago. The site has been

 developed and maintained under the direction of Nicole Duffee, DVM, Washington University. The IACUC Training

 and Learning Consortium Task Force is an ad hoc committee established by the American Association for Laboratory

 Animal Science (AALAS) with the charges: 

1. To produce a comprehensive core course to train IACUC members. 

2. To develop, design and provide oversight for this IACUC training course. 

3. To develop, design and provide oversight for a Web site (www.iacuc.org) for comprehensive information and

 resources on all matters pertaining to IACUCs. 

4. To establish a listerv (IACUC-FORUM) for IACUC members and staff to encourage dynamic information 

exchange on the IACUC process. 

5. To establish an advisory group representing a national consortium of organizations with shared interest in the

 education and training of IACUC members to jointly sponsor the IACUC training initiative, with AALAS

 coordinating the effort.

Although this page is intended to serve as an information resource for NIH scientists, Animal Care and Use Committee

 (ACUC) members, veterinarians, animal science specialists, and other NIH staff involved in the conduct of biomedical

 research at NIH, the information presented is certainly of use to other animal care and use committees. A very welldone site.

National Agricultural Library's (NAL) Web Gateway to AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine

 Access) 

http://agricola.nal.usda.gov// 

AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) is a machine-readable database of bibliographic records created by the

 National Agricultural Library and its cooperators. Production of these records in electronic form began in 1970, but the

 database covers materials dating from the 16th century to the present. The records describe publications and resources

 encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including plant and animal sciences, forestry,

 entomology, soil and water resources, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, agricultural products,

 alternative farming practices, and food and nutrition. Auxiliary subjects that support NAL's Information Center

 activities, such as agricultural trade and marketing, rural information, and animal welfare, are also included. 

National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Web Gateway 

http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd 

The NLM Gateway accesses multiple retrieval systems which: 

Provide an easy way to search the 11 million references and abstracts in the MEDLINE database. 

Use PubMed's retrieval engine to link to about 400 journals for full text of articles (some publishers may require a

 subscription) and provide pre-computed sets of relevant MEDLINE articles; 

Offer NLM's Medical Subject Headings for searching; and 

Use Loansome Doc for document delivery services (there may be local charges). 

NetVet Veterinary Resources and the Electronic Zoo
