An information specialist is on the staff to assist with searches for alternatives. The database is the most comprehensive available and includes records of films, computer simulations, video discs, etc. The database home site has other alternatives links that should be explored. The National Library of Medicine produces a bibliography of Alternatives to the Use of Live Vertebrates in Biomedical Research and Testing . The Animal Welfare Information Center, AWIC , a division of the National Agricultural Library, should be contacted for assistance with both the methology of searches as well as with assistance on seeking alternatives to specific research.
Some books are available on the subject.
