TOWARD A NATIONAL SYSTEMS RESOURCE IN TOXICOLOGY

The objective of the Toxicology Information Program is to become the recognized, accepted, authoritative, responsive, national center for access to information in toxicology and for information important to toxicologists and other health professionals. To achieve this goal, we plan to establish a computer-based facility to serve as a focal point for a network of information centers assuring greater accessibility to, and promoting greater utilization of, toxicology information. We thus hope to expedite the interchange of information, eliminate unnecessary duplication, foster exchange of ideas, and encourage the transfer of pertinent concepts from areas peripheral to toxicology. © 1969, American Chemical Society.
