As an information center within NAL, AWIC's role is to provide reference services, bibliographies and listings of relevant documents, establish the subject scope for acquisitions and indexing, conduct outreach activities and interact with user groups. In turn, AWIC relies on NAL for the purchase and maintenance of the subject relevant part of the collection, lending services and other technical services that ensure user access. Materials commonly accessed for AWIC's clientele cover important technical, ethical, p olitical and legal issues related to the welfare of animals. This division of effort expands the resources available to the user gro up. One result of computer technology has been the advent of computer databases in general and the bibliographic database in particular.
