Streszczenie

NIOSH is conducting a comprehensive evaluation of two of its electronic databases, the NIOSH Technical Information Center (NIOSHTIC ) and the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS ). The goal of this evaluation is to determine the importance and usefulness of NIOSHTIC and RTECS to the national and international occupational safety and health communities and to other users. Evaluation results will be used to generate a set of recommendations outlining possible options for the future of these databases.
