Excerpt
In 1995, at the request of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Institute of Medicine (IOM) formed the Committee on Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Resources for Health Professionals. The committee was charged with examining the utility and accessibility of NLM's Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) program for the work of health professionals. It was asked to consider the current toxicology and environmental health information needs of health professionals and how those needs are currently being met. The committee conducted an 18-month study and received extensive input from health professionals representing a range of disciplines and expertise. These individuals met with the committee, participated in one of four focus group sessions at a committee workshop, or responded to a questionnaire developed by the committee. Additionally, NLM staff members provided the committee with information about the databases and ongoing research and development efforts at NLM.
